1976 Topps #390 Don Gullett
About Don Gullett
Gullett was 8-3 with a 2.09 ERA by June 11, 1975, and on June 16 a line drive off the bat of Atlanta's Larvell Blanks broke his left thumb. He returned August 18 and finished 15-4 with a 2.42 ERA. In the NLCS opener he went the distance and drove in three runs, including the only home run of his career. His #390 shows him with the Reds.
Don Gullett was a left-handed pitcher from Lynn, Kentucky, who spent 1970 through 1976 with the Cincinnati Reds and 1977 and 1978 with the New York Yankees. He went 109-50 with a 3.11 ERA and 921 strikeouts, and was on six World Series teams, pitching in five of them, with titles for the Reds in 1975 and 1976 and the Yankees in 1977 and 1978. The Reds drafted him in the first round in 1969, and he reached the majors a year later at 19, after a three-sport high school career in which he once struck out 20 of 21 batters in a perfect game. Sparky Anderson predicted a Hall of Fame career, and writers compared him to Sandy Koufax. Injuries ended that path, and his last game came at 27. He later served as Reds pitching coach from 1993 to 2005 and entered the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame in 2002. He died in 2024 at age 73.
