1970 35 Joe Horlen

By

Joe Horlen


I guess his no-hitter, his 19 win season, his low career ERA and his career IP/BB ratio (almost 3.5/1) earned Joe Horlen a multiple-of-5 card. 

Horlen played on the PCL San Diego Padres in 1961 - their final year of affiliation with the White Sox. Those Padres did not simply become the major league Padres in 1969.  They moved to Eugene, Oregon and continued their then affiliation with the Phillies. Only the name remained in San Diego for the expansion major league team. 

Horlen's W/L record and his ERA got much worse in 1970 - although his IP/BB ratio got better.  This card would not be his last multiple-of-5 card.
