Cards That Never Were is a recurring series in which I create virtual trading cards for players missed in various sets. It is a concept I have borrowed from far too many to thank, but I appreciate all of their efforts.
Pitcher Woie Fryman was signed by the Pittsburgh Pirates as an amateur free agent in 1965. After making his MLB debut with the Pirates in 1966, he went on to pitch 18 seasons with the Pirates, Detroit Tigers, Montreal Expos, Cincinnati Reds and Chicago Cubs before returning to the Expos to finish his career. Over the 18 seasons, Fryman went 141-155 with 58 saves and a 3.77 ERA.
For his efforts, Topps gave Fryman a card for every season, but his last. Not wanting to leave him without a career capper, I created the 1984 card for Fryman.
