1976 Topps #530 Don Sutton
About Don Sutton
In 1975 Sutton went 16-13 with a 2.87 ERA for Los Angeles over 35 starts. He struck out 175, threw four shutouts and pitched two scoreless innings in the All-Star Game. His Dodgers card in the 1976 Topps set was #530.
Don Sutton pitched 23 major league seasons from 1966 through 1988, including 16 with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Born in Clio, Alabama, to teenage sharecroppers, he grew up in the Florida panhandle. He signed with Los Angeles in September 1964 for an estimated $15,000 bonus and reached the majors after one minor league season. Sutton worked at least 200 innings in 20 of his first 21 seasons; the exception was the strike-shortened 1981 season. He finished with a 324-256 record and a 3.26 ERA. His career totals included 58 shutouts and 3,574 strikeouts. A four-time All-Star, he used a fastball and curve early in his career, later adding a slider, screwball and changeup. Opponents repeatedly accused him of scuffing baseballs. After his first Dodgers tenure, he pitched for Houston, Milwaukee, Oakland and California, earning his 300th victory with the Angels on June 18, 1986. He returned to Los Angeles for his final season in 1988. The National Baseball Hall of Fame elected Sutton in 1998, and the Dodgers retired his number that year. He later broadcast Braves games and entered the Braves Hall of Fame in 2015 for that work.
