About Jack Billingham
Billingham went 15-10 with a 4.11 ERA in 33 games for the 108-win 1975 Reds, tying Gary Nolan and Don Gullett for the team lead in victories. In the World Series he started Game 2, pitching 5 2/3 innings of one-earned-run ball against Boston, then worked middle relief in Games 6 and 7. Card #155 in the 1976 Topps set shows him with Cincinnati.
Jack Billingham was a right-handed pitcher who spent 13 major league seasons, from 1968 to 1980, with the Dodgers, Expos organization, Astros, Reds, Tigers and Red Sox. Signed by Los Angeles out of Winter Park, Florida, he broke in as a bullpen arm before Harry Walker moved him into the Houston rotation in 1970. His best years came after a 1971 trade sent him to Cincinnati as part of the deal that also brought Joe Morgan, where he won 19 games in both 1973 and 1974 and made his only All-Star team in 1973. Over three World Series with the Big Red Machine he posted a 0.36 ERA, the lowest in Series history until Madison Bumgarner passed it in 2014. He closed his career with the Tigers and briefly the Red Sox, retiring with a 145-113 record and 1,141 strikeouts.
