1966 Topps #396 Jerry Stephenson
About Jerry Stephenson
Stephenson spent his second full season with the Red Sox in 1966, working mostly as a swingman across 15 games with 11 starts, going 2-5 with a 5.83 ERA over 66.1 innings and picking up his only complete game of the year. This 1966 Topps card, issued in the set's fifth series, shows him with Boston.
Jerry Stephenson was a right-handed pitcher who batted left, born in Detroit and raised in Anaheim, California, the son of longtime Red Sox scout Joe Stephenson. He signed with Boston straight out of high school in June 1961 and reached the majors in 1963. A promising 1964 season at Triple-A Seattle was cut short by an elbow injury. Stephenson pitched for the Red Sox through 1968, including Boston's 1967 pennant-winning club, then closed his career with brief stops for the Seattle Pilots in 1969 and the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1970. Over seven big-league seasons he went 8-19 with a 5.70 ERA across 67 games, 33 as a starter, with three complete games and one save. After retiring as a player he followed his father into scouting, spending 36 years evaluating talent for the Dodgers and Red Sox.
