Marty Bystrom Autographed 1985 Fleer #122 New York Yankees Card

Featuring pitcher Marty Bystrom during his tenure with New York, this Marty Bystrom autographed 1985 Fleer #122 New York Yankees card represents the final chapter of a Major League career that began with one of the most memorable late-season debuts in Philadelphia Phillies history. Bystrom joined the Yankees during the 1984 season after spending his first five years in the Philadelphia organization.

Bystrom became an instant sensation after being called up by the Phillies in September 1980. Making his Major League debut during a tight National League East pennant race, he went 5-0 with a 1.50 ERA in six starts, including a shutout in his first Major League start. His remarkable September performance helped Philadelphia capture the division title.

The rookie right-hander remained part of the Phillies pitching staff throughout the postseason. Bystrom started and won the decisive Game 5 of the 1980 National League Championship Series against the Houston Astros, helping send Philadelphia to the World Series. The Phillies then defeated the Kansas City Royals to capture the first World Series championship in franchise history.

Bystrom remained with Philadelphia until he was traded to the New York Yankees in June 1984. His career was ultimately limited by arm problems, and 1985 proved to be his final Major League season. Despite the relatively short career, his extraordinary contribution to Philadelphias 1980 championship run secured his place in Phillies history.

The 1985 Fleer #122 documents Bystrom during his brief Yankees tenure and is an appealing addition for New York Yankees collectors, Marty Bystrom fans, 1980 World Series collections, 1980s Fleer collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
