Who is the man: Wilbur Wood had just finished the last of three seasons in which he appeared collectively in 241 games for the White Sox. He averaged 80 appearances from 1968-70 and in 1971 he would become a starter and win 22 games.
Can ya dig it: What is that structure behind Wood's left shoulder, a mausoleum?
Right on: Wood looks rather formal with the collared look.
You see that cat Wood is a bad mother: Wood won at least 20 games four straight seasons between 1971-74.
Shut your mouth: Wood won 24 games for Chicago in 1972. Late in September, manager Chuck Tanner told a reporter, "There's no way Wood can miss the Cy Young Award. He is just incredible ..." Wood finished second in the Cy Young voting, losing out to fellow 24-game winner Gaylord Perry.
No one understands him but his woman: Wood is the last pitcher to start both ends of a doubleheader, doing so on July 20, 1973 against the Yankees. He lost both games.
(A word about the back): I'm sure this isn't the first card to mention saves on the back, but it does make me wonder which card was the first.
