1977 Topps #282 Sid Monge
About Sid Monge
The 1977 Topps #282 shows Monge with California, but the season took him away. After four games and 12 innings in April, he was traded to Cleveland on May 11 with Bruce Bochte and cash for Dave LaRoche and Dave Schuler. He finished the year 1-3 with four saves, all of his 37 appearances in relief.
Sid Monge was a left-handed reliever from Agua Prieta, Sonora, who pitched in the majors from 1975 to 1984 for the California Angels, Cleveland Indians, Philadelphia Phillies, San Diego Padres and Detroit Tigers. He moved to Brawley, California, at 16, and the Angels drafted him in the 24th round in 1970. His best season was 1979 with Cleveland, when he went 12-10 with a 2.40 ERA, 19 saves and 76 appearances, and became the first Mexican-born pitcher named to a major league All-Star team. He was 7-1 for the 1982 Phillies and 10-3 in 1983 between Philadelphia and San Diego. Over ten seasons he went 49-40 with a 3.53 ERA and 56 saves in 435 games. He later coached in the St. Louis Cardinals and Detroit Tigers farm systems, served as pitching coach of the Sultanes de Monterrey in 2010, coached third base for the Venados de Mazatlan in the Mexican Winter League, and entered the Mexican Professional Baseball Hall of Fame on June 14, 2004.
