1967 Topps #41 Joe Hoerner
About Joe Hoerner
1967 Topps #41, from the set's first print series, shows Joe Hoerner with the St. Louis Cardinals. Coming off a strong rookie relief season, Hoerner became a key bullpen arm on the 1967 Cardinals, who won the National League pennant and beat the Boston Red Sox in the World Series; he appeared in that Series without a decision.
Joe Hoerner was a left-handed sidearm relief pitcher who spent 14 major league seasons with seven clubs after signing with the Chicago White Sox in 1957. Drafted by the expansion Houston Colt .45's in the 1961 minor league draft, he battled years of heart-related blackouts on the mound before Houston finally used him in 1963 and 1964. St. Louis claimed him from Houston in the 1965 Rule 5 draft, and from 1966 through 1969 he anchored the Cardinals bullpen, helping the club to two National League pennants and the 1967 World Series title. He was later dealt to Philadelphia in the trade that sent Curt Flood to the Phillies, made the 1970 National League All-Star team, and closed his career with stints in Atlanta, Kansas City, Texas and Cincinnati. He finished with a 39-34 record, a 2.99 ERA and 99 saves in 493 games, all in relief.
