1967 Topps #429 Garry Roggenburk
About Garry Roggenburk
Topps put Roggenburk in a Boston uniform for 1967, but he never threw a pitch for the club that took the American League pennant on the final day of the season. He spent the whole year with Toronto, the Red Sox' Triple-A affiliate, going 5-10 in 21 games, 17 of them starts, with a sharp 2.60 ERA over 121 innings; he put the losing record down to the worst-hitting team he had ever played on. Boston called up several pitchers during the chase and still left him in the minors. Card #429 is a fifth-series number, and it is his first Topps card in Red Sox colors.
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.
