1964 Topps #382 Wes Stock
About Wes Stock
On June 15, 1964, Baltimore traded Stock to Kansas City for catcher Charlie Lau, sending him from first place to last. He left the Orioles 19-4 over five-plus seasons and riding a 10-game winning streak, ran it to 12 with the A's, and finally lost on July 19 when White Sox pitcher Gary Peters beat him with a 13th-inning home run. In his first at-bat after the trade he singled home a run off Steve Ridzik, the first hit of a career that had opened 0-for-36. The Kansas City half of the year was his best work anywhere: 1.94 in 93 innings, 101 strikeouts, five saves. Card #382, from Topps' fifth series, still has him in an Orioles uniform.
Wesley Gay Stock was born April 10, 1934, in Longview, Washington, and grew up in Allyn, where his father ran a combination tavern, grocery, and service station and his mother served as the local postmistress. He graduated from Shelton High in 1952, pitching for the town team, and walked on with the Cougars at Washington State College under coach Buck Bailey before signing with the Baltimore Orioles in 1956 for $4,000. He went 14-6 at Class C Aberdeen, spent two years in the Army, and reached the majors on April 19, 1959. Listed at 6-foot-2 and 188 pounds, the right-hander pitched in 321 games over nine seasons for the Orioles and Kansas City Athletics, all but three in relief, going 27-13 with a 3.60 ERA, 22 saves, and 365 strikeouts in 517 1/3 innings. Baltimore traded him to Kansas City for catcher Charlie Lau on June 15, 1964, and he threw his last big-league inning in 1967. He then coached for decades - pitching coach for the Athletics in 1967, 1973-76 and 1984-86, the Milwaukee Brewers from 1970 to 1972, and the Seattle Mariners from 1977 to 1981 - and was on Oakland's World Series winners of 1973 and 1974 before calling Mariners games on television in 1982 and 1983.
