1958 Topps #328 Ike Delock
About Ike Delock
Topps #328 comes from the fourth series of the 494-card 1958 set and shows Ike Delock as a Boston Red Sox pitcher. His 1958 began 4-0 in relief, then he joined the rotation in June and won his first six starts. Counting three relief wins late in 1957, he ran off 13 straight victories before the White Sox beat him on July 26. He finished 14-8 with a 3.38 ERA, 19 starts in 31 games and nine complete games. Boston's baseball writers named him their Pitcher of the Year.
Ivan Martin "Ike" Delock, born November 11, 1929 in Highland Park, Michigan, was a right-handed pitcher whose eleven big-league seasons were spent with the Boston Red Sox apart from a final month with the Baltimore Orioles. A Marine Corps veteran who learned to pitch on service teams, he signed with Boston in 1948 and climbed through Auburn, Oneonta, Roanoke and Scranton, where he went 20-4 with a 1.92 ERA in 1951, before debuting in April 1952. Boston used him as both a starter and a bullpen workhorse, and his best two pitches were a fastball and a slider. He led the American League with eleven relief wins in 1956, won fourteen games in 1958 behind a thirteen-game winning streak carried over from 1957, and had his finest year in 1959 at 11-6 with a 2.95 ERA. He finished 84-75 with a 4.03 ERA, 672 strikeouts, 32 complete games and 31 saves in 329 games, 147 of them starts, ranking among the top 25 Red Sox pitchers in wins, games, saves, innings and strikeouts. Afterward he lent his name to a Connecticut sports camp and worked in airline sales. He died February 28, 2022 in Raleigh, North Carolina, at 92, and is not a National Baseball Hall of Fame inductee.
