Dan Schatzeder Autographed 1981 Topps #417 Detroit Tigers Card

Featuring Dan Schatzeder with the Detroit Tigers, this Dan Schatzeder autographed 1981 Topps #417 Detroit Tigers card showcases the left-handed pitcher during his first stint in Detroit. Schatzeder's versatility allowed him to work both as a starter and reliever during a Major League career that spanned 15 seasons.

Schatzeder began his Major League career with the Montreal Expos in 1977 and moved into their starting rotation the following year. In 1979, he went 10-5 with a 2.83 ERA in 23 appearances, including 21 starts, as Montreal remained in contention for the National League East title until the final days of the season.

The Expos traded Schatzeder to the Detroit Tigers following the 1979 season. He made 25 starts and pitched 160 innings for Detroit in 1980, giving the Tigers an experienced left-handed option in their rotation. The 1981 Topps #417 represents this early portion of his Tigers tenure.

Schatzeder later developed into a valuable relief pitcher and returned to Detroit during the 1984 season, making 24 appearances for a Tigers club that won 104 games and captured the World Series championship. He also pitched in the postseason as Detroit defeated Kansas City in the ALCS and San Diego in the World Series.

Over 15 Major League seasons, Schatzeder pitched for nine organizations and appeared in 504 games, working extensively as both a starter and reliever. The 1981 Topps #417 is an appealing addition for Tigers collectors, Dan Schatzeder fans, 1984 World Series championship collections, vintage Topps collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
