1976 Topps Jim Lonborg
The Dentist... The Dentist, Jim Lonborg was probably a much better pitcher than any one of us remembers. He then retired to become a dentist. Kind of odd if you ask me. Anyway, 157 career wins and a near 14 year career which was not bad, not bad at all. But always in the shadow of a Tiant or a Carlton, Lonborg was always a solid number two starter. I'm guessing injuries took its toll on him as he made only four appearances in 1979 and was released in June at age 37. Too bad,
