1966 Topps #582 Garry Roggenburk
About Garry Roggenburk
Roggenburk split the first four months of 1966 between Minnesota, where he worked 12 times in relief, and Triple-A Denver, where 11 of his 12 outings were starts. Neither went well - his Twins ERA sat at 5.84 across 12 1/3 innings - and on September 7 Minnesota sold him to the Boston Red Sox. He told a reporter there was nothing the matter with his arm, that he had not had a minute's trouble with it, and that he was happy to be with the Red Sox. He debuted for Boston on September 18 at Fenway Park: one-third of an inning, a hit and a walk. Card #582 is a seventh-series high number, and it catches him in Twins flannels in the last year he belonged to them.
Garry Roggenburk was a 6-foot-6 left-handed pitcher born in Cleveland, Ohio, on April 16, 1940. A two-sport star at St. Ignatius High School and the University of Dayton, he led his college team in scoring all three varsity seasons and earned All-American honors as a senior while carrying Dayton to the 1962 NIT title. The Warriors took him in the fourth round of the 1962 NBA draft, but he never seriously considered basketball and signed with the Minnesota Twins for a $12,000 bonus. He reached the majors in 1963 and pitched effectively as a rookie, then lost all of 1964 to a bone chip in his pitching elbow and the surgery that followed. He was back with the Twins for their 1965 pennant season, was sold to the Boston Red Sox in September 1966, and finished with the expansion Seattle Pilots, walking away from the game in July 1969 at 29. He later coached baseball at Cleveland State, ran the Red Sox' Winter Haven farm club as general manager, and worked as a real-estate appraiser in Ohio. He is a member of the Ohio Basketball Hall of Fame.
