1967 Topps #271 Eddie Watt
About Eddie Watt
Card 271, from the set's third print series, shows Watt as a full-time Baltimore reliever after a spring training injury cost him vision and hearing in one ear. He came back to lead the Orioles pitching staff in appearances with 49 games that season, going 3-5 with a 2.26 ERA and eight saves over 103.2 innings, working alongside fellow relievers Stu Miller, Moe Drabowsky and Eddie Fisher in a deep Baltimore bullpen.
Eddie Watt was a right-handed relief pitcher who spent parts of ten seasons in the majors, mostly as a mainstay of the Baltimore Orioles bullpen from 1966 to 1973. A short, sturdy Iowan out of Iowa State Teachers College, he signed with Baltimore in 1961 and worked his way up through Appleton, Aberdeen, Elmira and Rochester, throwing two no-hitters at Elmira in 1965. Used almost exclusively as a reliever after his rookie year, he led the Orioles pitching staff in appearances four straight seasons and helped Baltimore to four pennants and two World Series titles. He posted a 38-36 career record with 80 saves and a 2.91 ERA over 411 games, going 37-34 with 74 saves as an Oriole. He finished his playing career with the Phillies and Cubs before a long second act as a minor league manager and pitching coach, including several seasons in the Atlanta Braves system.
