1967 Topps #127 John O'Donoghue
About John O'Donoghue
O'Donoghue's second season with Cleveland produced his career highlight: a one-hit complete-game shutout of the Tigers at Tiger Stadium on August 19, 1967, striking out 11 against a lineup that included Al Kaline and Eddie Mathews. For the year he went 8-9 with a 3.24 ERA and a career-best 1.171 WHIP across 33 games. This 1967 Topps card, a print series 2 issue, pictures him with the Indians during that standout season.
John O'Donoghue was a left-handed pitcher born October 7, 1939, in Kansas City, Missouri, who stood 6 feet 4 inches. He pitched for the University of Missouri, taking the mound twice in the 1958 College World Series championship series as the Tigers finished runner-up to USC, then signed with the Kansas City Athletics in 1959. After four rough minor league seasons he broke through in 1963 and debuted with the Athletics that September. He worked mainly as a starter through 1967, then shifted almost entirely to relief for the rest of his career, pitching for Cleveland, Baltimore, Seattle, Milwaukee, and Montreal. His finest outing came on August 19, 1967, a one-hit shutout of Detroit at Tiger Stadium. Over nine major league seasons he went 39-55 with a 4.07 ERA and 377 strikeouts, and he was named to the 1965 American League All-Star team, though he did not appear in the game. He also became a recurring figure in Jim Bouton's book Ball Four during his 1969 season with the Seattle Pilots.
