1961 Topps #3, John Buzhardt
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
John Buzhardt's 1961 Topps card #3 is shown here, front and back: http://home.triad.rr.com/ovis/images/Buzhardt-3.jpg http://home.triad.rr.com/ovis/images/Buzhardt-3b.jpg I love the cartoons on some of these cards!! This one says "He got a lot of bad breaks during the 1960 campaign". Really, the only bad break he got was being traded to the hapless Phillies during the off season. Philadelphia finished with a 59-95 record in 1960, which put them in last place, 36 games out. John was the losing pitcher, on September 16th, when 39 year old Warren Spahn threw his first no-hitter. John pitched 8 innings and allowed 4 runs. Unfortunately, 1961 didn't bode too well for John and the Phillies either. The Phillies finished with a 47-107 record, 46 games out of first. John's record was 6-18, and his ERA slipped above 4 for the only time in his 10 year career, at 4.07. John came up with the Cubs in 1958, played for the Phillies in 1960 and 1961, for the White Sox from 1962 into 1967, and for Houston in 1967 and 1968. His lifetime ERA was 3.67. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Wade |
