1977 Topps #484 Burt Hooton
About Burt Hooton
Hooton went 12-7 with a 2.62 ERA, third in the National League, as the Dodgers won 98 games under new manager Tommy Lasorda. In NLCS Game 3 he walked four straight Phillies in the second inning, three with the bases loaded, and left in a game the Dodgers won 6-5. He beat the Yankees 6-1 on a five-hitter in World Series Game 2, then left Game 6 without retiring a batter. His #484 card is a Dodgers issue.
Burt Hooton was a right-handed starter who pitched 15 seasons for the Cubs, Dodgers and Rangers, relying on a knuckle-curve he developed as a 14-year-old in Corpus Christi. A three-time All-American at the University of Texas, he went 35-3 for the Longhorns and was the second pick of the 1971 secondary draft, signing for $50,000. Chicago traded him to Los Angeles in May 1975, and he won his last 12 decisions that year, a Dodgers record. He won 19 games with a 2.71 ERA in 1978 and finished second to Gaylord Perry for the Cy Young Award. In 1981 he made his only All-Star team, posted a career-best 2.28 ERA and was NLCS MVP as the Dodgers won the World Series. He finished at 151-136 with a 3.38 ERA, then spent decades as a pitching coach, including with the Astros from 2000 to 2004.
