1977 Topps #468 Ramon Hernandez
About Ramon Hernandez
A left-hander out of the bullpen, Hernandez split 1976 between Pittsburgh and the Cubs, appearing in 39 games with a 2-2 record and a 3.43 ERA. His 1977 Topps card, #468, lists him with the Cubs. He pitched 18 games that season for the Cubs and Boston, and his last major league appearance came on July 27, 1977.
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.
