1977 Topps #207 Glenn Abbott
About Glenn Abbott
The 1977 Topps #207 shows Abbott with the Mariners, but his 1976 season was spent in Oakland, where he made 19 appearances, 10 of them starts. He went 2-4 with a 5.49 ERA in 62 1/3 innings. Abbott said the move meant leaving an Athletics team that had won three straight World Series for a roster of young players who did not know what they could do.
Glenn Abbott, a 6-foot-6 right-hander from Little Rock, Arkansas, was drafted by the Oakland Athletics in the eighth round in June 1969 and signed straight out of high school. He debuted July 29, 1973, starting against the Texas Rangers, and pitched for Oakland through 1976. In the last game of the 1975 season he threw the sixth inning of the first four-pitcher combined no-hitter in major league history, between Vida Blue and Paul Lindblad. Seattle took him in the November 1976 expansion draft, and he stayed longer than any other member of the original Mariners roster, leading the club in wins in 1977 and 1980 with 12 each. Elbow bone chips and viral meningitis cost him the 1982 season. Detroit bought his contract for $100,000 on August 23, 1983, and released him August 14, 1984. He finished 62-83 with a 4.39 ERA in 248 games. A long minor league pitching-coach career followed in the Mets, Athletics, Padres and Rangers systems.
