1962 Topps #363 Bob Roselli


About Bob Roselli
The 1962 season gave Roselli his heaviest big-league workload and also his last: 35 games, 20 of them behind the plate with 13 starts, and 64 at-bats. His average fell to .188, though 11 walks nearly matched his 12 hits and carried him to a .316 on-base percentage, and those hits included three doubles, a triple and the second and final home run of his career. He took 86 chances behind the plate and misplayed just one. Card #363 sits in the fourth print series, which makes it a far easier find than the 1961 card. By 1962 he was in his fifth major-league season.
Robert Edward Roselli was a right-handed-hitting catcher born December 10, 1931, in San Francisco and schooled at Balboa High. He entered the Braves chain in 1950 with Ventura of the California League and served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War, losing the 1954 season and part of 1955. He debuted August 16, 1955, with the Milwaukee Braves and spent parts of three seasons there, 1955-56 and 1958, as a backup to Del Crandall, with Triple-A stops at Wichita, Toronto and Sacramento filling the gaps. He resurfaced with the Chicago White Sox for 1961 and 1962 as Sherm Lollar's caddy. Over five big-league seasons he batted .219, 25-for-114, with seven doubles, a triple, two home runs and 10 RBI in 68 games, the last on September 29, 1962. He closed out a professional career that began in 1950 with a 1963 season at Triple-A Hawaii, leaving him at .259 with 63 home runs across 903 minor-league games. He later scouted for the Baltimore Orioles and Cincinnati Reds, worked as a salesman and coached youth baseball. He died November 6, 2009, in Roseville, California.
