1971 Topps #82 Casey Cox
About Casey Cox
Casey Cox's #82 is a first-series card, and it follows the season he moved into the rotation. He made 30 starts in 37 games for the 1970 Senators and went 8-12 with a 4.45 ERA in 192 1/3 innings, completing one start. Washington finished last in the American League East.
Joseph Casey Cox, a 6-foot-5 right-hander born in Long Beach, California, pitched for the Washington Senators, Texas Rangers, and New York Yankees from 1966 to 1973. Signed by the Cincinnati Reds in 1962, he worked through several organizations before reaching the majors with Washington in 1966, debuting that April and recording his first career strikeout against Al Kaline. Used mostly out of the bullpen, Cox set career highs as a rookie with 66 appearances and seven saves. His best season came in 1969, when he went 12-7 with a 2.78 earned run average as the Senators had their only winning record in eleven seasons in Washington. Manager Ted Williams called him one of the team's two best pitchers. Cox retired after the 1973 season. Over 308 career games he posted a 39-42 record, 20 saves, and a 3.70 ERA. He died in Clearwater, Florida, in 2023.
