1976 Topps #647 Ramon Hernandez
About Ramon Hernandez
Ramon Hernandez went 7-2 in 46 relief games for the 1975 Pirates, a career high for wins, and allowed no home runs in 64 innings. Pittsburgh lost the NLCS to Cincinnati in three straight, and he took the loss in the finale. Card #647 in 1976 Topps carries him with the Pirates. During 1976 he moved to the Cubs.
Ramon Hernandez was a switch-hitting, left-handed relief pitcher from Carolina, Puerto Rico. Signed by Pittsburgh in 1959, he spent years in the minors and winter ball before reaching the majors with Atlanta in 1967 at age 26. After a brief stop with the Cubs, the Pirates reacquired him in 1971, and he pitched out of their bullpen through the mid-1970s, pairing a sidearm delivery and a screwball with sharp control against left-handed hitters. His best season came in 1972, when he went 5-0 with a 1.67 ERA and 14 saves. He pitched in three National League Championship Series with Pittsburgh, in 1972, 1974 and 1975. A teammate and an opposing manager credited his deceptive, multi-angle motion for his effectiveness. He also played 21 winter-league seasons in Puerto Rico. Hernandez finished his nine-season career 23-15 with a 3.03 ERA. He saved 46 games in 337 appearances.
