1974 Topps Giants -- Part 5

John D'Acquisto was 12-14 with a 3.77 ERA in 1974. He led the Giants with 36 games started.

Frank Riccelli didn't pitch for the Giants in 1974. He was 3-7 with a 6.16 ERA for AAA Phoenix. Frank didn't make it to the majors until 1976.

There are several reasons why I don't really like the multi-player rookie cards. This card is one reason. A Giant and a Dodger are looking at each other like on the Brady Bunch opening credits. Yuck.

Jim Willoughby was 1-4 with a 4.65 ERA in 18 games (4 starts) in 1974. Jim was with the Giants until June 9 and then went to AAA Phoenix where he started 15 games.

Tom Bradley was 8-11 with a 5.61 ERA in 30 games (21 starts).

Don Carrithers didn't pitch for the Giants in 1974. He was traded to the Montreal Expos for John Boccabella in April 1974.
