1958 Topps - Curt Simmons #404 (Pitcher) - Autographed Baseball Card (Philadelphia Phillies)

            Curtis Thomas "Curt" Simmons (b: May 19, 1929) is a former left-handed pitcher in MLB from 1947–50 and 1952-67. With right-hander Robin Roberts, a member of the Baseball HOF, Simmons was one of the twin anchors of the starting rotation of the "Whiz Kids", the Philadelphia Phillies' 1950 National League championship team. He is the youngest surviving player from the team.
 
He spent 13 years with the Phillies, coming back from military service in 1952, and was an All-Star three times with the team. Simmons was a good pitcher with decent records who pitched for Phillies teams which were usually under .500. He was regularly overshadowed by teammate Robin Roberts, who was winning around 20 games every year during much of the early and middle 1950's.
 
With the 1964 Cardinals team which won the World Series, Simmons had an impressive 18-9 record, but Bob Gibson had 19 victories while Ray Sadecki had 20. He then finished out his career with the Chicago Cubs and the California Angels, posting a 2.60 ERA with the Angels at age 38.
 
Career statistics:
Win–loss record 193–183
ERA - 3.54
Strikeouts - 1,697
