Featuring Bob McClure with the Milwaukee Brewers, this Bob McClure autographed 1983 Topps #62 Milwaukee Brewers card represents the left-handed pitcher during his lengthy tenure with the franchise. McClure spent more than a decade in Milwaukee, working as both a starter and reliever and contributing to the Brewers' rise into an American League contender.
McClure began his Major League career with the Kansas City Royals in 1975 before joining Milwaukee during the 1977 season. He became an important member of the Brewers bullpen, recording 20 saves in 1978 and establishing himself as the club's primary left-handed relief option.
The Brewers reached the postseason for the first time in franchise history in 1981, then enjoyed their greatest season to that point in 1982. McClure worked primarily as a starter that year, making 28 starts as Milwaukee captured the American League East and defeated the California Angels in the ALCS to earn its first World Series appearance.
McClure started Game 4 of the 1982 World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals, allowing two runs over 5 innings in Milwaukee's 7-5 victory. He also appeared in relief during Game 7 as the Brewers' memorable championship run came to an end.
McClure pitched 19 Major League seasons with the Royals, Brewers, Expos, Mets, Angels, Cardinals and Marlins, appearing in more than 600 games. The 1983 Topps #62 is an appealing addition for Brewers collectors, Bob McClure fans, 1982 American League championship collections, vintage Topps collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
