1968 Topps #519 Jerry Stephenson
About Jerry Stephenson
In 1968 Stephenson made 23 appearances for the Red Sox, seven as a starter, logging 68.2 innings with a 2-8 record and 5.64 ERA. This 1968 Topps card was issued in the set's sixth series and pictures him with Boston.
Jerry Stephenson was a right-handed pitcher who batted left, born in Detroit and raised in Anaheim, California, the son of longtime Red Sox scout Joe Stephenson. He signed with Boston straight out of high school in June 1961 and reached the majors in 1963. A promising 1964 season at Triple-A Seattle was cut short by an elbow injury. Stephenson pitched for the Red Sox through 1968, including Boston's 1967 pennant-winning club, then closed his career with brief stops for the Seattle Pilots in 1969 and the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1970. Over seven big-league seasons he went 8-19 with a 5.70 ERA across 67 games, 33 as a starter, with three complete games and one save. After retiring as a player he followed his father into scouting, spending 36 years evaluating talent for the Dodgers and Red Sox.
