1970 Topps #328 George Brunet
About George Brunet
Brunet is listed with the Washington Senators on #328, a third-series card, after a December 4, 1969 trade that sent him there for Dave Baldwin. His 1969 was split between California and Seattle: 8-12 with a 4.44 ERA over 164 1/3 innings, ending a Los Angeles-California run that included back-to-back shutouts on July 9 and July 14. With the Senators in 1970 he went 8-6 with a 4.42 ERA in 24 games, 20 of them starts, before a deadline deal to Pittsburgh for Denny Riddleberger.
George Stuart Brunet was a left-handed pitcher born June 8, 1935, in Houghton, Michigan. He signed with Detroit for $500 after a Briggs Stadium tryout in the fall of his senior year at Calumet High School and reached the majors with the Kansas City Athletics in September 1956. Over parts of 15 seasons through 1971 he also pitched for the Milwaukee Braves, Houston Colt .45's, Baltimore Orioles, Los Angeles and California Angels, Seattle Pilots, Washington Senators, Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis Cardinals, finishing 69-93 with a 3.62 ERA and 921 strikeouts in 324 games. He was in the Angels rotation from 1965 through 1968, and he twice led the American League in losses, 19 in 1967 and 17 in 1968, despite ERAs of 3.31 and 2.86. Brunet then went to Mexico and stayed, pitching there from 1973 through 1989 and drawing the nickname El Viejo, the Old Man, for working into his fifties. He threw a no-hitter at 42, set a Mexican League record with 55 shutouts, and closed a professional career of roughly 36 years. He died of a heart attack on October 25, 1991, in Poza Rica, Veracruz, and was inducted into the Mexican Professional Baseball Hall of Fame in 1999.
