1967 Topps #163 Vic Roznovsky
About Vic Roznovsky
Card #163, print series 2, shows Roznovsky with the Baltimore Orioles. He spent most of the season as a backup catcher for the defending champions, including a 20-game stint with Tacoma of the Pacific Coast League, as the Orioles worked their backstop rotation behind Etchebarren following his own 1966 back surgery to repair a ruptured disc.
Vic Roznovsky was a left-handed hitting catcher from Shiner, Texas, who broke into pro ball with Pittsburgh in 1958 after a rodeo-ground tryout, then survived a release and a position switch before reaching the majors with the Chicago Cubs in 1964. His busiest year came in 1965, when he caught for Chicago and hit three home runs. Traded to Baltimore in 1966 for outfielder Carl Warwick, he served as a backup behind Andy Etchebarren on the Orioles' pennant-winning and World Series champion club, filling in for extended stretches when Etchebarren was hurt. In August 1966 he hit a pinch homer against Boston that cut a ninth-inning deficit, immediately followed by a game-tying pinch homer from Boog Powell, an American League first for back-to-back pinch-hit homers. Back and leg trouble that season traced to a ruptured disc, which was surgically repaired that winter. He remained a backup catcher in Baltimore before finishing his career with the Philadelphia Phillies in 1969. He batted .218 with 4 home runs over parts of five major league seasons.
