One of the players who was key on that 77 team and came over in the trade for Porter was Jim Colbert. He won 18 games in 1977. Didn't pitch in the playoffs though. (Whitey!!).
He aslo threw a no hitter that year. He struck out 6 and gave up about 21 line drive screamers for outs. Wish I could find the TCJ's write up after that game. I think I have it in one of my scrapbooks. Colborn kind of chuckled about how he could have given up 7 hits if he didn't have such a great defense behind him.
I was disappointed in losing Jim Wohlford and Tom Poquette in that deal at the time. I got to know them pretty well from the front row of LF GA at the time.
