1974 Topps #632 George Culver
About George Culver
In 1973 Culver went 7-5 with a 3.56 ERA in 42 relief appearances. Card #632 in the 1974 Topps set lists him with Philadelphia. He pitched 14 games for the Phillies in 1974, going 1-0 with a 6.65 ERA, and made his last major league appearance on June 9.
George Raymond Culver signed with the New York Yankees as an amateur free agent in 1963 out of Bakersfield College, then reached the majors with the Cleveland Indians in 1966. The right-hander spent nine big league seasons with six clubs, working as both a starter and reliever, and threw a no-hitter for the Cincinnati Reds against the Philadelphia Phillies on July 29, 1968. When the Dodgers placed him on waivers in August 1973, teammate Tommy John called it a big reason Los Angeles missed the playoffs that year, citing Culver's role as the team comic who kept the clubhouse loose. Culver closed his playing career in Japan with the Nippon-Ham Fighters in 1975, then spent three decades as a minor league manager, pitching coordinator and pitching coach for the Dodgers and Phillies organizations, finishing as a roving pitching coach in 2010. A longtime Bakersfield civic figure, he built the BC Baseball Hot Stove Dinner into a fundraiser that rebuilt Bakersfield College's baseball facilities, and was inducted into the California Community College Athletics Association Hall of Fame in 2012.
