George Stuart Brunet
Los Angeles Angels
Pitcher

Bats:  Right  Throws:  Left  Height:  6'1"  Weight:  195

Sports Illustrated - August 18, 1980

On the strength of his left pitching arm, George Brunet played for 15 seasons in the big leagues bouncing around to nine different teams.  His longest stint by far was with the Angels between 1964 and 1969.  Brunet twice led the league in losses with 19 in 1967 and 17 in 1968.  The Angels sold Brunet to the expansion Pilots on July 31, 1969, and he's described in Jim Bouton's (#30) book Ball Four as being "crazy."  After brief stints with the Pilots, Senators, Pirates and Cardinals, Brunet was released by the Cardinals on May 10, 1971 and his Major League career was over.

But his career in the Mexican League was just beginning.  His Baseball Reference statistics aren't complete, but Brunet pitched into his 50s finally retiring in the late 1980s.  Known as "El Viejo" or "The Old Man," he pitched a no-hitter with Petroleros de Poza Rica on June 20, 1977 at 42 years old. On June 10, 1984, at 51, he set the Mexican record for shutouts with 55.  In total, he pitched for 36 years in professional baseball.  He died of a heart attack in 1991 a few years after his retirement and was posthumously elected into the Mexican Baseball Hall of Fame in 1999.

July 8, 2020 from Los Angeles, CA - Card #111
In need of some cardboard therapy as we approached the four month anniversary of the start of our social distancing, I went on a mini eBay binge the first week of July.  We had a vacation planned for the last week of June, first week of July, and that vacation had been unceremoniously cancelled at some point in April.  Major League Baseball was showing signs of coming back, the Black Lives Matter movement was finally gaining momentum, the pandemic showed no signs of going away any time soon and a complete lack of intelligent national leadership wasn't helping anything or anybody.  I needed some old baseball cards.

17 cards arrived on July 8th, including this Brunet card won from Greg Morris Cards with a winning bid of $2.25.  I bid on 15 cards from Greg Morris Cards' eBay auctions, winning 7 of them.  A batch of 10 more cards entered my eBay cart from Dean's Cards on the same day.  Over the next several weeks, I'll review each of the 17 cards acquired, putting us just over the 20% mark for completion of our 1965 Topps set.

The Card / Angels Team Set
That's not a particularly flattering photo of Brunet, but Topps liked it so much they cropped it closer and re-used the photo for Brunet's 1966 card.  The piping around the neck means Brunet was wearing an Orioles road uniform in the photo, taken back in 1963.  On the back, Topps had no way of knowing Brunet's 15 club trek since his professional debut in 1953 was to be only the beginning!  As an 18-year-old, Brunet appeared in 7 games in 1953 for the D-Level Shelby Clippers in the Tar Heel League.

1965 Season
This was Brunet's best season in the majors as he went 9-11 for the Angels and his 2.56 ERA was fourth best in the American League.  He was the reliable fourth starter on an Angels pitching staff that also consisted of Fred Newman (#101), Dean Chance (#140) and Marcelino Lopez (#537).  Brunet pitched 197 innings including a 10-inning shutout against the Senators on July 21st.

#129 Bennie Daniels - Washington Senators

Bennie Daniels
Washington Senators
Pitcher

Bats:  Left  Throws:  Right  Height:  6'1"  Weight:  193
Born:  June 17, 1932, Tuscaloosa, AL
Signed:  Signed by the Pittsburgh Pirates as an amateur free agent, July 1951
Major League Teams:  Pittsburgh Pirates 1957-1960; Washington Senators 1961-1965

Bennie Daniels had his professional baseball career paused for a few years while he was serving in the Army during the Korean War in 1953 and 1954.  He'd get the call to the Majors from the Pirates in September 1957, beginning his nine-year Major League career.  For his debut, Daniels was the final opposing pitcher to ever start a game at Brooklyn's Ebbets Field before the Dodgers' move to Los Angeles.  Daniels pitched seven strong innings, but the the Pirates lost to the Dodgers, 2-0.  With the Pirates, Daniels was 8-16 over four seasons, appearing in 10 games for the club in their 1960 World Championship season.

He was traded by the Pirates to the expansion Senators on December 16, 1960 with Harry Bright (#584) and R C Stevens for pitcher Bobby Shantz.  The Senators lost 100 games in their first year, but Daniels led the pitching staff with 12 wins.  He was a mainstay in the Senators' pitching rotation during their first five seasons, appearing in 177 games and going 37-60 with a 4.14 ERA.  For his career, Daniels appeared in 230 games and owned a 45-76 record to go with a 4.44 ERA.  Daniels was pretty good with the bat too.  In the era before an American League designated hitter, he hit .170 with 5 home runs and 26 RBIs.

This card caught my eye as I was unfamiliar with Daniels, and I could appreciate that his first and last name approximated the first and middle names of our youngest son Ben.

The Card / Senators Team Set
This is the eighth and final appearance in a Topps flagship set for Daniels.  Flipping to the back, his 1956 no-hitter would have come as a member of the Lincoln Chiefs in the Class-A Western League.  His 17-8 performance with the Hollywood Stars in 1957 earned him his September promotion.  And his two shutouts in 1964 came during the final month of the season - both against the White Sox on September 7th and September 19th.

1965 Season
This was to be Daniels' final season in the majors, and he appeared in 33 games (18 starts) for Gil Hodges' (#99) club while going 5-13 with a 4.72 ERA.  Amazingly enough, the Senators lost each of the final 18 games in which Daniels appeared.  His final solid pitching performance came on June 12th when he threw a complete game victory against the White Sox, allowing a run on five hits.

Daniels was dropped from the big league roster in 1966 and pitched the entire season with the Triple-A Hawaii Islanders before retiring from baseball.

#124 Tom Satriano - Los Angeles Angels

Thomas Victor Nicholas Satriano
Los Angeles Angels
Infield-Catcher

Bats:  Left  Throws:  Right  Height:  6'1"  Weight:  185
Born:  August 28, 1940, Pittsburgh, PA
Signed:  Signed by the Los Angeles Angels as an amateur free agent, July 22, 1961
Major League Teams:  Los Angeles Angels 1961-1964; California Angels 1965-1969; Boston Red Sox 1969-1970

Tom Satriano, nicknamed Mr. Everything for his versatility on the field and his role as a super substitute player, was signed by the expansion Angels in July 1961 and immediately placed on the team's active roster.  He had attended USC where a few months earlier he was a member of the Trojans' 1961 NCAA Tournament championship team.  Originally an infielder, Satriano was converted to a catcher in 1963 and that would remain his primary position.  A back-up for most of his 10 big league seasons, his best year came in 1968 when he appeared in 111 games for the Angels, batting .253 with career highs in both home runs (8) and RBIs (35).  He spent two seasons as a back-up catcher with the Red Sox and played in 1971 with the Padres' top farm club in Hawaii before retiring as an active player.

The Card
This is the second card I've added to our set with the rare position designation of Infield-Catcher, with Ossie Virgil (#571) being the first.  Topps used a hatless photo from the same session as this for Satriano's 1966 Topps card.  The hatless photo was necessitated as the Los Angeles Angels had become the California Angels at the end of the 1965 season and they had updated their hat logo for the name change.

Flipping to the back, Satriano went 0 for 7 to start his career before hitting a home run off the Indians' Mudcat Grant (#432) on August 12, 1961.  His conversion to catcher and his exploits with the USC Trojans are also mentioned on the back.

Angels Team Set

1965 Season
Satriano suffered a shoulder injury in March and missed much of spring training.  He started the season with the Seattle Angels where he hit just .173 over 41 games.  The Angels, in need of a back-up catcher after selling Phil Roof (#537) to the Indians in June, recalled Satriano and he'd stick with the club throughout the rest of the season.  Appearing in 47 games, he made 10 starts behind the plate, 5 starts at second base and 4 starts at third.  While he provided solid defense, his offense still lagged as he hit .165 (13 for 79) with four extra base hits and 10 RBIs.

Curt Blefary edged out Marcelino Lopez (#537) for A.L. Rookie of the Year honors in 1965, hitting .260 with 22 home runs and 70 RBIs.  In 1966, and at 22 years old, he was the every day left fielder for the  Orioles team that would go on to sweep the World Series against the Dodgers.  Nicknamed "Clank" by teammate Frank Robinson (#120) for his questionable fielding skills, Blefary made the rare move to first baseman and catcher after starting his career as an outfielder.  He was behind the plate for Tom Phoebus' no-hitter against the Red Sox on April 27, 1968.  After a season as the regular first baseman for the Astros in 1969, Blefary spent the last three seasons in the big leagues as a back-up with the Yankees, A's and Padres.  He hit .237 over 974 games with 112 home runs and 382 RBIs.

John Miller pitched for his hometown Orioles in five different seasons between 1962 and 1967.  He appeared in a career high 23 games in 1966, making 16 starts and earning a record of 4-8 with a 4.74 ERA.  In 46 career games, Miller was 12-14 with a 3.89 ERA.  Sold to the Mets in 1967, Miller spent that entire season in the minors pitching for the Jacksonville Suns.  Following a year in independent ball in 1968, Miller retired.

The Card
This is Blefary's rookie card, and he'd earn a Topps All-Star Rookie trophy on his first solo card in 1966.  As noted on the back, Blefary began is professional career in 1962 with the Greensboro Yankees in the Carolina League.  He was selected off waivers from the Yankees by the Orioles in April 1963.

Miller's rookie card came a few years earlier as the pitcher was featured on a floating heads Rookie Stars card within the 1963 Topps set.  The back of the card alludes to his control issues, and for his career Miller had 138 walks to 178 strikeouts over 227 innings.

Orioles Team Set

1965 Season - Blefary
His rookie season, 1965 was perhaps the best of Blefary's career.  He started 131 of the Orioles' 162 games, splitting those starts between left field (62 games) and right field (69 games).  This was also the first season in which Blefary openly complained to the media about a lack of playing time, criticizing manager Hank Bauer (#323) for not playing him enough in spring training.  "Sometimes my mouth would get into gear before my brain was engaged," he's quoted as saying in his SABR biography.

1965 Season - Miller
Miller entered the Orioles' starting pitching rotation in late June, sticking around until the end of the season.  He replaced future Hall of Fame Robin Roberts (#15) in the rotation and Roberts would ultimately be released by the Orioles on July 31st.  Miller's best start came on July 21st against the Athletics when he pitched a complete game, allowing two runs on five hits, earning the win.  Miller went 6-4 on the season with a 3.18 ERA, walking 58 and striking out 71 over 93 1/3 innings.

Before his promotion, he had appeared in 14 games with the Indianapolis Indians, going 6-2 with a 3.36 ERA.

Died:  June 24, 1987, Framingham, MA (age 45)

Fred Newman was originally signed by his hometown Red Sox, but the club left him unprotected prior to the 1960 expansion draft and he ended up across the country with the Angels.  In parts of six seasons with the Angels, Newman went 33-39 with a 3.41 ERA, pitching four complete game shutouts.  A 13-game winner in 1964 and a 14-game winner in 1965, Newman's 2.75 ERA was 8th in the American League in 1964.  He was the most heavily used starting pitcher for the Angels in 1965, leading the staff in games started (36) and innings pitched (260 2/3).

Newman battled arm injuries after his strong 1965 season, retiring after trying to make a comeback in the Red Sox system in 1969.

Newman appeared on six Topps baseball cards, and all but one of them, his 1967 Topps card, feature nothing more than a close-up of his mug.  His 1967 card at least gives us some shoulders and part of a glove.  On the back of the card, his seven complete games in 1964 are mentioned and his teammate Dean Chance (#140) more than doubled him up with 15 complete games.  The write-up also mentions his brief time in the Red Sox organization before the Angels chose him in the expansion draft.

Angels Team Set

1965 Season
As mentioned above, Newman had a strong 1965 campaign and he along with Chance and Marcelino Lopez (#537) formed a solid trio atop the Angels' starting pitching rotation.  Newman went 14-16 with a 2.93 ERA.  He pitched a two-hit shutout against the Twins on June 30th and a five-hit shutout against the Red Sox on September 21st.

Born:  February 22, 1938, Takoma Park, MD
Signed:  Signed by the Baltimore Orioles as an amateur free agent before 1957 season

Died:  February 4, 2007, Henderson, NV (age 68)

A two-time All-Star and starting pitcher for the early part of his career, Steve Barber pivoted to a reliable but often injured reliever towards the latter end of his 15-year big league run.  Barber led the American League in shutouts with 8 in 1961 and was a 20-game winner for the Orioles in 1963, the first pitcher in Orioles' history to reach that plateau.  His two All-Star Game appearances came in 1963 (20-13, 2.75 ERA in 36 starts) and 1966 (10-5, 2.30 ERA in 25 games).  He finished in the league's top 10 for ERA in 1960, 1963 and 1965.

Barber was traded to the Yankees on July 4, 1967, missing the Orioles run at the top of the league beginning in 1969 and lasting until the the mid-1970s.  His move to the Yankees began a six-team odyssey over eight seasons, including a stop with the Seattle Pilots during the club's only year of existence.  With the Pilots, and hampered by elbow injuries, Barber was depicted in Jim Bouton's (#30) Ball Four "as a man who wouldn't lead, follow, or get out of the way" according to his SABR biography.  Now a seldomly used left-handed reliever, Barber was the losing pitcher in the Pilots' final game.

He retired following the 1974 season having pitched in 466 games, with a record of 121-106 and a 3.36 ERA.

The Card
For the 7 cards coming from Greg Morris Cards, I specifically bid on cards of players I knew little to nothing about, and Barber fits that bill.  I enjoy learning about players from before my time, and spending some quality time with each card before it's slid into its pocket on a page within our 1965 Topps binder.

On the back of the card, Barber's league leading 8 shutouts are mentioned.  The 1964 Orioles finished in third place behind the White Sox and the pennant-winning Yankees.  Barber's 118 strikeouts were second only to Milt Pappas' (#270) 157 on the Orioles' pitching staff.

Orioles Team Set

1965 Season
The 1965 Orioles again finished the season in third place with Pappas, Barber, Dave McNally (#249) and Wally Bunker (#290) serving as their top four starting pitchers.  Barber made 32 starts and went 15-10 with a 2.69 ERA.  His SABR biography mentions he was frustrated to be removed from most of his starts by manager Hank Bauer (#323), as he had only 7 complete games.
