1968 Topps #268 Bob Humphreys
About Bob Humphreys
This Senators card falls in the print series 3 run, taken during Humphreys' third season in Washington. He pitched in 56 games that year, going 5-7 with a 3.69 ERA and two saves across 92.2 innings, continuing to work primarily in relief for a club he served as team player representative during these years.
Bob Humphreys was a right-handed relief pitcher who spent parts of nine major league seasons, 1962 to 1970, with the Tigers, Cardinals, Cubs, Senators and Brewers. A Hampden-Sydney College graduate from Covington, Virginia, he broke into pro ball in 1958 and reached Detroit in 1962. He is best remembered for the 1964 St. Louis Cardinals, where a midseason call-up from Triple-A turned into a 2-0, 2.53 ERA season out of the bullpen and a scoreless ninth inning in Game Six of that year's World Series, a championship for St. Louis. After stops with the Cubs, he found his longest home with the Washington Senators from 1966 into 1970, relying on a cutter learned from teammate Frank Lary and later a knuckleball. He finished 27-21 with 20 saves and a 3.36 ERA in 319 games. After retiring he coached at Virginia Tech and worked as a minor league pitching instructor and coordinator for several organizations.
