Classic Cubs 1988

In 1988 Classic released two different sets to compliment the yellow travel edition of the trivia game they put out in 1987.  Two Cubs were included in each of the new sets.  Numbering on the cards was just a continuation of the original Classic sets.





Here are the two Cubs from the red-bordered update set, cards numbered 151 - 200.  We get Dawson at home and Ryno on the road.  Go ahead and take a shot at a couple of the questions on the back...
...from Sandberg's card....What Hall of Fame pitcher was nicknamed "Old Stubblehead?"  I had no idea who that was; luckily the answer was on the card!
...from Dawson's card...Name the last player to hit two grand slams in one game?...remember this was 1988. Since then it has happened four more times.





The second set, with blue borders, was numbered 201 - 250 and two more Cubs made the list.  Dawson made it again, and Rick Sutcliffe replaced Ryne Sandberg.  Try your hand with a couple more questions...
...from Dawson's card...I led the Indians in home runs in 1987. Who am I?
...from Sutcliffe's card...My #1 was retired by the Cincinnati Reds.  Who am I?

I've got all the answers below
