1958 Topps #467 Glen Hobbie
About Glen Hobbie
Card #467 is the recognised rookie card of Glen Hobbie, issued in the sixth and final series of the 1958 Topps set, just ahead of the All-Star subset, and shows him with the Chicago Cubs. The card follows a 1957 in which he went 15-15 for Memphis, was bought by Chicago for $50,000 on August 14, and made two September relief appearances for the Cubs.
Glen Hobbie was a right-handed pitcher who spent nearly his entire big-league career with the Chicago Cubs. Born in Witt, Illinois, he reached the majors in September 1957, weeks after the Cubs bought his contract from Memphis of the Southern Association for $50,000. The 6-foot-2 Hobbie split 1958 between the rotation and the bullpen, going 10-6 with 16 starts in 55 appearances, then took a regular turn in 1959 and opened that April with the best game of his career, a one-hit 1-0 shutout of St. Louis that was perfect until Stan Musial doubled with two out in the seventh. He won 16 games in both 1959 and 1960, topping 230 innings each year, and in 1960 he also led the National League with 20 losses. A back injury in 1961 altered his follow-through and cost him his fastball, and he never got it back. Chicago traded him to the Cardinals for Lew Burdette on June 2, 1964; his last big-league appearance came seven weeks later and he finished the year in the minors. Over eight seasons he went 62-81 with a 4.20 ERA, 682 strikeouts, 45 complete games and 11 shutouts in 284 games. He later worked as a supervisor for a roller derby association in Litchfield, Illinois, and died in 2013 at 77.
