1977 Topps Baseball #497 - Clay Carroll

• Clay Carroll was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals for Lerrin LaGrow during spring training in 1977. Clay spent most of the year with the Cards but the White Sox reacquired him on August 31 for Nyls Nyman, Dave Hamilton, and Silvio Martinez. The White Sox needed arms for the stretch drive. Clay pitched well for the Cardinals in 1977, but he was roughed up a bit in September when he pitched for the White Sox.
