1965 Topps #467 Ray Washburn
About Ray Washburn
Red Schoendienst took over as manager in 1965, and the Cardinals staff brought Washburn along carefully. The overpowering fastball was gone for good, so he built a new act around an off-speed curveball that, by his own account, made what was left of the fastball look better than it had before. Used as a spot starter and long reliever, he appeared in 28 games with 16 starts and went 9-11 with a 3.62 ERA over 119 1/3 innings for a club that fell to seventh at 80-81 a year after winning the World Series. Card #467 is a sixth-series card.
Ray Clark Washburn (b. May 31, 1938, Pasco, Washington) pitched nine seasons for the St. Louis Cardinals and a tenth with the Cincinnati Reds, finishing 72-64 with a 3.53 ERA and 700 strikeouts in 1,209 2/3 innings. A college basketball standout who always knew baseball was his game, he led Whitworth College to the 1960 NAIA championship, struck out 37 batters in 19 tournament innings and was voted the tournament's Most Valuable Player. St. Louis signed him for a $50,000 bonus, brought him up for a look in September 1961, then watched a torn triceps in his pitching shoulder nearly end him in 1963. He came back with a different set of pitches, took home World Series rings with the 1964 and 1967 Cardinals, and peaked in 1968, when he no-hit the San Francisco Giants at Candlestick Park. He later taught at Bellevue Community College for three decades, chairing its physical education department, running its athletics and coaching its baseball team for 12 years. He is in the NAIA, Inland Empire and Washington State sports halls of fame, but not the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
