1977 Topps #586 Steve Renko
About Steve Renko
Renko went to the Cubs on May 17, 1976, with Larry Biittner in the Andre Thornton trade, and card #586 pictures him in Chicago. He had pitched 13 innings for the Expos under Karl Kuehl before the move and finished 1976 at 8-12 with a 3.98 ERA across the two clubs. On April 28, 1977 he went on the disabled list after a thyroid nodule was removed, and the Cubs sent him across town to the White Sox on August 18.
Steve Renko was a 6-foot-5 right-handed starter who worked 15 seasons, 1969 to 1983, for the Montreal Expos, Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox, Oakland Athletics, Boston Red Sox, California Angels and Kansas City Royals. He finished 134-146 with a 3.99 ERA over 2,494 innings. He struck out 1,455 batters and completed 57 games. A three-sport athlete at Kansas, he played quarterback in the same backfield as Gale Sayers and was drafted by the Oakland Raiders in 1966, but the Mets had signed him a year earlier and baseball won out. He was the last remaining 1969 Expo when he left Montreal as the club's winningest pitcher with 68 victories. He threw three career one-hitters. He was 11-6 for the 1982 Angels, who won the American League West.
