1962 Topps #507 Ernie Broglio
About Ernie Broglio
With the shoulder quieter, Broglio bounced back in 1962 to go 12-9 with a 3.00 ERA, piling up a career-high 11 complete games and four shutouts in 30 starts and 222 innings; the Cardinals staff led the National League with 17 shutouts. Card #507 carries him with the St. Louis Cardinals, a plain sixth-series card, and an easy piece for a collector building a Broglio run.
Ernest Gilbert Broglio was born in Berkeley, California, on August 27, 1935, and moved with his family to El Cerrito in 1945. He signed out of El Cerrito High School with the Pacific Coast League's Oakland Oaks in 1953, won 20 games for Stockton in 1955, then landed in the New York Giants chain and went 17-6 for the Dallas Eagles in 1957. A five-player swap sent the right-hander to the St. Louis Cardinals on October 8, 1958. He debuted on April 11, 1959, and broke through the next season at 21-9 with a 2.74 earned run average, tying Warren Spahn for the National League lead in wins, finishing second in ERA and third in the Cy Young vote, and taking the league's Sophomore of the Year award. A sore right shoulder and close to twenty cortisone shots dragged him to 9-12 in 1961, but he rebuilt his arm and won 18 games in 1963. On June 15, 1964, St. Louis sent him, Bobby Shantz and Doug Clemens to the Chicago Cubs for Lou Brock, Jack Spring and Paul Toth. Elbow surgery followed that November, Broglio won only seven more games, and the swap became the standard example of a lopsided trade. He finished 77-74 with a 3.74 ERA and died July 16, 2019.
