Take a look at this 1979 Topps card

I remember pulling this like it was yesterday. I remember the back of the card, and immediately thought of it when Strasburg struck out his 7th in a row (and last) batter of the night. I don't know if anyone has surpassed 7 consecutive in a debut game since then.

Here is a box score for that game: http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes ... 9012.shtml

If TBP comes in this thread, I bet he'll remember the John Stearns Record Breaker card from that set.

Don't scare the bidders!

Let's hope Stras doesn't flame out as a crackhead who may currently be in prison right now.

Interesting they both pitched in the Balt/DC area.

I also heard it was the most Ks since Bob Feller's 15 in a 1st start. So at least he has Feller as company too. :lol:

Is that your card? The one you pulled back then?

That face looks like I painted it, and I got C-'s in art so the teacher never had to see me again...
