- Ernie Broglio during his illustrious three-year career with the Cubs
Writing yesterday for the Bleader, I had reason to look back 50 years to a couple of events that seemed like good ideas at the time. There was the Tonkin Gulf Resolution, which saw Congress man up and vote almost unanimously to give North Vietnam what-for. And there was the Brock-Broglio trade, which saw the Cubs swindle the Cardinals out of a pitcher who’d won 18 games the previous year!
Numbers tell astonishing stories if you select them carefully. I’d continue with my eye-opening examination of Broglio’s offensive prowess, but by 1967 he was out of baseball.
