1981 Donruss, Paul Mitchell



#205 Paul Mitchell

Next up is former pitcher Paul Mitchell. Paul pitched for six seasons with the Orioles, A's, Mariners, and Brewers. He sure did get around during his six year career.

Paul was mainly a starter and he finished his career with a 32-39 record with a save and a 4.45 ERA. He never had a double digit win season, coming as close as nine with the A's in 1976.

I sent this card to Paul in November and I had it back about ten days later. Paul was nice enough to personalize this card and he even spelled my name right, which has become a problem of late. Good job, Paul!

I have a little more time today than the last time I posted, so I am going to break down the College World Series contest a little more. Here is everyone's picks that still have a chance of making it to Omaha. These teams still need to win two out of three this weekend, so they are not a sure thing yet.
