Originally an outfielder at Southern Illinois University, Toronto converted Dave Stieb to the mound after drafting him in 1978. His ascent was meteoric. By 1982, he was leading the major leagues in innings pitched (288.1) and complete games (19), finishing with a 17-14 record and a brilliant 3.25 ERA.
Stieb had an almost unbelievable string of brush-ins with baseball history. He took a no-hitter into the 9th inning with two outs three different times between 1988 and 1989, only to lose it at the absolute last second. His resilience finally paid off on September 2, 1990, when he threw the first (and still only) official no-hitter in Blue Jays franchise history against the Cleveland Indians.
Stieb was selected to 7 All-Star teams and won the 1985 AL ERA Title with a stingy 2.48 mark. He finished his career with 176 wins, 103 complete games, and a dominant 56.4 career WAR.
Dave Stieb’s official rookie card is this 1980 Topps #77. This card features him as a pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays. The value of a 1980 Topps Dave Stieb rookie card varies greatly depending on its condition, also known as its grade.

Did You Know? Before he finally got his crowning moment, Stieb endured a stretch of near-miss heartbreak that has never been replicated in baseball history. He became the tragic king of the “one out remaining” collapse, losing three different no-hitters or perfect games with two outs in the ninth inning.
Stieb finally broke the curse on September 2, 1990, against the Cleveland Indians. With two outs in the ninth, he forced Jerry Browne to line out to right field, securing the first and only no-hitter in Toronto Blue Jays franchise history and unleashing years of pent-up frustration in an emotional celebration.
