1977 Topps #195 Ed Figueroa
About Ed Figueroa
Topps #195 shows Figueroa with the Yankees after a 1976 in which he worked 256 2/3 innings, with 14 complete games and four shutouts. A stiff elbow cost him a couple of turns in August, he lost his last two decisions, and a rainout canceled his final start, which kept him short of 20 wins. In Game 5 of the ALCS he left after seven innings with a 6-3 lead, and George Brett tied it off Grant Jackson. In Game 4 of the World Series he went eight innings and allowed five runs in the Reds' sweep.
Ed Figueroa was a right-handed starter from Ciales, Puerto Rico, and the only Puerto Rican pitcher to win 20 games in a major league season. Signed by the Mets in 1966, he hurt his arm in 1968, was released, and served in the Marine Corps, including time in Vietnam. He signed with the Giants in 1970, came to the Angels in a July 1973 trade, and debuted on April 9, 1974. After going 16-13 with a 2.91 ERA in 1975, he was sent to the Yankees with Mickey Rivers for Bobby Bonds on December 11, 1975. He led the Yankees with 19 wins in 1976 and finished fourth in the American League Cy Young voting, then won 16 in 1977 and 20 in 1978 for back-to-back champions. Elbow trouble ended his run: he went to Texas in 1980 and made his last appearances for Oakland in 1981, finishing 80-67 with a 3.51 ERA.
