1976 Topps #182 Harry Rasmussen
About Harry Rasmussen
Harry Rasmussen's rookie card, #182, lists him with the Cardinals. He went 5-5 with a 3.78 ERA in 14 games in 1975 after a July call-up from Tulsa. His major league debut was a seven-hit shutout of the San Diego Padres with seven strikeouts, and he drove in a run with a fifth-inning single. He started 13 games that year.
Eric Rasmussen was a right-handed pitcher who worked in the majors from 1975 to 1983 for the St. Louis Cardinals, San Diego Padres and Kansas City Royals. Born Harold Ralph Rasmussen and known as Harry, he legally changed his name to Eric in the 1976-77 offseason. A fourth-round Red Sox pick in 1971 who chose the University of New Orleans instead, he was taken by the Cardinals in the 32nd round in 1973. He finished 50-77 with a 3.85 ERA, and his 14 wins in 1978 split between St. Louis and San Diego were his career high. After the Padres released him he pitched in the Mexican League for Yucatan and returned to the Cardinals in 1982. In 1983 he threw a shutout in his first start for Kansas City, making him the only pitcher to shut out a team in both his National League and American League debuts. He then coached for decades, with Cleveland's minor league system from 1988 and the Minnesota Twins organization from 1991, becoming minor league pitching coordinator after 2008.
