(3) CARDELL CAMPER INDEX CARD SIGNED 1977 CLEVELAND INDIANS PSA/DNA CERTIFIED 1952-2010
Cardell Camper
(July 6, 1952 – December 7, 2010) was a
Major League Baseball
pitcher
.
Camper played seven seasons in the minors, in the
St. Louis Cardinals
,
Cleveland Indians
and
Philadelphia Phillies
organizations; when the Indians expanded their roster in September 1977, Camper was brought up. He appeared in three games: pitching two scoreless innings September 11 (in Baltimore) and again on September 17 (at home against Toronto), before starting in Toronto October 2. The Blue Jays touched him for four runs on seven hits in six innings, but Camper got the win as the Tribe triumphed, 5-4. It was his last major league appearance.
That winter, Camper was traded to the Phillies for eccentric outfielder
Joe Charboneau
, who became the
American League
Rookie of the Year
in 1980 before injuries ended his career. Camper's baseball career ended in 1979; he died in 2010.
