1977 Topps #618 Pat Dobson
About Pat Dobson
Frank Robinson, Pat Dobson's old Orioles teammate, managed him in Cleveland in 1976, and Dobson called Robinson the finest player he had ever teamed with. Dobson was considered the elder statesman of a young Indians staff that included rookie Dennis Eckersley, and he worked 217 1/3 innings with 117 strikeouts. Cleveland finished above .500 for the first time since 1968. On 1977 Topps #618 he appears with the Cleveland Indians.
Pat Dobson was a right-handed pitcher who spent eleven seasons in the majors with Detroit, San Diego, Baltimore, Atlanta, the New York Yankees and Cleveland. He broke in with the Tigers in 1967 after years in the minors and winter ball, working mostly in relief, including Detroit's 1968 championship season, when he appeared in the World Series against St. Louis. Traded to San Diego, he became a full-time starter for the first time in 1970. A trade to Baltimore paid off immediately: in 1971 Dobson won twenty games as one of four Orioles pitchers to reach that mark, a feat matched only once before in major league history, and he made the All-Star team the following season. With the Yankees he won nineteen games in 1974. He finished his career with 122 wins and 1,301 strikeouts. Over 414 games he posted a 3.54 ERA. After his playing days he was a pitching coach for the Brewers, Padres, Royals and Orioles.
