1978 Topps #462 Rogelio Moret
About Rogelio Moret
Card #462 shows Moret with the Rangers. In 1977 he went 3-3 with a 3.73 ERA and four saves in 18 games, and surgery to repair a circulation problem in his pitching arm limited his work. In 1978 he appeared in seven games, went 0-1 with a 4.91 ERA, was hospitalized after the April 12 episode at Arlington, and pitched his last game on June 16 against Toronto.
Roger Moret was a tall, thin Puerto Rican left-hander from Guayama who pitched in the majors from 1970 to 1978 for the Boston Red Sox, Atlanta Braves and Texas Rangers. He signed with Boston out of high school in 1968 and threw a quick fastball with a decent curve and a good changeup. He went 36-15 in his three full seasons with Boston, 1973 to 1975, and led the American League in winning percentage in 1975 (.824). On August 21, 1974, he threw a one-hit shutout against the White Sox, the only hit an infield single by Dick Allen in the seventh. Boston traded him to Atlanta, and a year later the Braves sent him to Texas. His career record was 47-27 with a 3.66 ERA and 12 saves. He later pitched in the Mexican League and died in Guayama in 2020.
