1975 Topps #110 Wilbur Wood
About Wilbur Wood
Wilbur Wood signed with his hometown Boston Red Sox as a bonus-baby prospect in 1960, but four scattered seasons in Boston (1961-64) and two more in Pittsburgh (1964-65) failed to stick. Traded to the White Sox for Juan Pizarro after the 1966 season, he learned the knuckleball full-time from Hall of Famer Hoyt Wilhelm. The reinvention worked: as baseball's most durable reliever he set a modern record with 88 appearances in 1968, then moved into the rotation in 1971 under pitching coach Johnny Sain's two-days'-rest plan. Wood won 20-plus games four straight years, led the AL in wins in both 1972 and 1973, and in 1972 threw 376⅔ innings - the most by any pitcher since 1919. He made three All-Star teams (1971, 1972, 1974) before a Ron LeFlore line drive shattered his kneecap in 1976, ending his effectiveness. His 1975 Topps card #110 catches him near that peak; the innings totals on the back (334, 376, 359, 320 for 1971-74) are themselves undercounts, since Topps rounded down the fractions Wood actually worked.
