1978 Topps #124 Dave Rozema
About Dave Rozema
After making Detroit's roster from a nonroster invitation, Rozema went 15-7 with a 3.09 ERA in 1977. His first major league win was a four-hit shutout at Fenway Park on April 21. Topps gave him rookie card #124 in 1978, with the All-Star Rookie trophy cup on the front.
Dave Rozema pitched right-handed for Detroit and Texas over 10 major league seasons, working both as a starter and in relief. The Tigers selected him in the fourth round of the January 1975 draft after he attended Grand Rapids Junior College. At Class A Clinton, manager Jim Leyland moved him from the bullpen to the rotation, and pitching instructor John Grodzicki taught him a changeup. He went 12-4 with a 1.57 ERA for Double-A Montgomery the next year. Rozema won 7 games for the 1984 World Series champion Tigers before pitching mainly in relief for Texas. He finished 60-53 with a 3.47 ERA in 1,106 innings. In December 1985, he and Kirk Gibson married sisters in a double wedding.
