1967 Topps #82 Steve Barber
About Steve Barber
Card #82, a series-1 issue, reports a 1966 split in two by his left elbow. Barber led the American League at 10-3 with a 1.96 ERA at the All-Star break and was named to the team, but tendinitis kept him out of the game and held him to 14 innings after it. He finished 10-5 with a 2.30 ERA, was left off the World Series roster, and watched Baltimore sweep the Dodgers.
Steve Barber was a hard-throwing left-hander who anchored the Baltimore Orioles' staff from 1960 into the middle of 1967, part of the young 'Kiddie Korps' rotation with Milt Pappas, Chuck Estrada, Jack Fisher and Jerry Walker. Orioles scout Walter Youse signed him out of Silver Spring, Maryland, in 1957, and three wild years in the low minors followed alongside fellow hard throwers Bo Belinsky and Steve Dalkowski, a trio remembered as 'The Lost Boys.' A live fastball and a heavy sinker made him overpowering when he found the plate: 18 wins in 1961, and in 1963 he became the first pitcher of the modern Orioles to win 20 games in a season. He was an All-Star in 1963 and again in 1966, and was hurt both times without pitching in the game. His elbow gave out in the middle of a dominant 1966 and never fully recovered. He finished 121-106 with a 3.36 ERA over 15 seasons, entered the Orioles Hall of Fame in 1988, and died in 2007.
