1957 Topps - Don Gross #341 (Pitcher) (b. 30 Jun 1931 - d. 10 Aug 2017 at age 86) - Autographed Baseball Card (Cincinnati Redlegs)

Donald John Gross (b. June 30, 1931 – d. August 10, 2017 at age 86) was a baseball player whose 13-year professional career (1950–52; 1954–63) included all or parts of six seasons of Major League Baseball with the Cincinnati Redlegs and Pittsburgh Pirates. A left-handed pitcher, Gross stood 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighed 186 pounds.

Gross was signed by the Cincinnati Reds as an amateur free agent and began his professional career in 1950 in their farm system. His professional career was put on hold in 1953 due to military service. Resuming professional baseball in 1954, he was promoted to the major leagues in 1955 making his debut on July 21 against the Philadelphia Phillies.

After the 1957 season, Gross was traded to the Pirates for right-handed pitcher Bob Purkey. It proved to be an uneven swap. Gross went 6–8 (3.82) in 66 games for the Pirates, while Purkey blossomed into a three-time National League All-Star, winning 103 games for Cincinnati over seven seasons, including a 23–5 (2.81) campaign in 1962.

He had a stellar record in minor league baseball, compiling a won-lost record of 68–39.
