1958 Topps #435 Ed Roebuck
About Ed Roebuck
Ed Roebuck's 1958 Topps #435, a Series Five card, lists him with the Los Angeles Dodgers in the club's first season after leaving Brooklyn. In 1957 he won eight of ten decisions with a 2.71 ERA in 44 games, one a start, and posted a 1.39 ERA over the final three months. A sore shoulder that spring troubled his 1958 season, in which he went 0-1 with a 3.48 ERA and five saves in 32 relief games.
Ed Roebuck was a right-handed relief pitcher from East Millsboro, Pennsylvania, who signed with the Dodgers out of Brownsville High School in 1949 and gave the organization eleven big league seasons. He reached Brooklyn in 1955 after three years at Triple-A Montreal, and as a rookie he worked 47 games behind relief ace Clem Labine and led the pennant winners with 12 saves. He pitched in the 1955 World Series, the only one Brooklyn ever won, and again in 1956. A sore shoulder ended his 1958 season and a year in the minors followed in 1959, but he came back to pitch four more seasons for Los Angeles before trades carried him to Washington and then Philadelphia. He finished 52-31 with 62 saves and a 3.35 ERA in 460 games, all but one of them in relief. Roebuck was also renowned as one of the game's finest fungo hitters, and he was the man Walter O'Malley sent out to launch sky-high flies when the Astrodome's architect needed to know how tall to build the roof. He scouted for nearly four decades afterward and earned a second ring with the 2004 Red Sox.
