One or maybe two tiers south of the Hall, but a solid career and a few spectacular seasons. I saw him when he first came up against the Senators, he threw some serious heat.

Such an exciting pitcher on an exciting team, and he had a great name.
His 71 Topps card is a classic. RIP Vida and thanks for the memories

Fortunately I had an OMLB in my car left over from the tournament & asked them both to sign (which they graciously did):
