1962 Topps #532 Dick Stigman
About Dick Stigman
Two 1962 cards bracket the biggest move of his career. Card 37, a first-series combination card titled Tribe Hill Trio, still has him in a Cleveland uniform beside fellow Indians pitchers Barry Latman and Jim Perry. Card 532, a seventh-series high number, already shows the Minnesota Twins: he and first baseman Vic Power had been sent to his home state that April for right-hander Pedro Ramos. Stigman made the deal look good, opening the season in relief and drawing his first start July 18, a complete game against Cleveland in which Harmon Killebrew and Bob Allison both hit first-inning grand slams. He finished 12-5 with a 3.66 ERA, six complete games in 15 starts and three saves as Minnesota stunned the league with second place.
Richard Lewis Stigman, born January 24, 1936, in Nimrod, Minnesota, was a left-handed pitcher who spent seven major-league seasons with the Cleveland Indians, Minnesota Twins and Boston Red Sox between 1960 and 1966. Three days after he graduated from Sebeka High School in the spring of 1954, the Cleveland scout who had signed Bob Feller and Bob Lemon drove out to sign him, having watched the strapping teenager strike out 21 batters in a seven-inning perfect game. Stigman climbed the Indians' farm system behind a 17-9, 1.44 ERA season at Class D Vidalia in 1956, reached Cleveland in 1960 and was traded to his home-state Twins two years later. Minnesota got his best work, both as a starter and out of the bullpen, and he was on the roster when the Twins won the 1965 American League pennant. Over 235 big-league games he went 46-54 with a 4.03 ERA and 755 strikeouts. He became a Minneapolis-area businessman afterward, and a park in Nimrod called Stigman's Mound carries his name.
