Timeline

1930

Drabowsky also was the losing pitcher to Early Wynn in Wynn's 300th win that season.

1935

Myron Walter Drabowsky (July 21, 1935 – June 10, 2006) was an American professional baseball pitcher who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Chicago Cubs, Milwaukee Braves, Cincinnati Reds, Kansas City Athletics, Baltimore Orioles, Kansas City Royals, St. Louis Cardinals, and Chicago White Sox.

A noted practical joker, Drabowsky engaged in such antics as leaving snakes in teammates' lockers or phoning the opposing team's bullpen to tell a pitcher to warm up.

He batted and threw right-handed.

1938

Born in Poland to a Jewish family, Drabowsky emigrated to America in 1938.

He excelled as a pitcher in high school and college and was signed as a bonus baby by the Chicago Cubs.

The two fled to the U.S. in 1938 when Adolf Hitler began mobilizing in Eastern Europe.

His father joined them a year later, and the family settled in Wilson, Connecticut, a village in the town of Windsor, just north of Hartford.

Growing up in Connecticut, Drabowsky was an avid Boston Red Sox fan.

His favorite player was Bobby Doerr, and he wanted to be a second baseman too, but he was converted to a pitcher by his prep school coach, who observed he had a good arm.

Drabowsky went to the Loomis Prep School, now Loomis Chaffee School, in Windsor where he had an 8–0 record with a no-hitter his senior year.

He later attended Trinity College in Hartford, where he studied economics.

He had an academic scholarship to study at the school until he started partying too much in a fraternity.

While at Trinity, he studied economics and played for their varsity baseball team, with whom he also threw a no-hitter.

He played summers in Canada, in the Halifax and District League, for the Truro Bearcats.

1956

He debuted for the Cubs in 1956 and finished tied for second in the National League in strikeouts in his rookie season.

While with Truro, he caught the eye of former Chicago Cubs shortstop Lenny Merullo in 1956, who signed him to play for the Cubs that year.

Sources differ on the exact amount of the contract, but Drabowsky himself said it was for $75,000 ($0 today).

This made Drabowsky a bonus baby, meaning the Cubs would have to keep him in the major leagues for two full seasons or expose him to waivers.

1958

In 1958, he gave up Stan Musial's 3,000th hit.

An arm injury that year curtailed his effectiveness, and after a couple more seasons with the team, he was traded to the Milwaukee Braves.

1961

He played for the Braves, the Cincinnati Reds, and the Kansas City Athletics in 1961 and 1962 before remaining with the Athletics through the end of the 1965 season.

1963

During this period, he was sent to the minor leagues a few times, and while in the major leagues, he typically went back and forth between the starting rotation and the bullpen, except in 1963, the year he had his lowest earned run average (ERA) as a starter.

1965

Following the 1965 season, he was selected in the Rule 5 draft by the Baltimore Orioles.

Once in Baltimore, Drabowsky was used almost exclusively as a relief pitcher.

1966

After three starts in 1966, he pitched only in relief the rest of his career.

He became a part of one of the best bullpens in the major leagues and posted ERAs of 2.80, 1.60, and 1.91 during his first three years with the club.

The Orioles won the American League (AL) pennant in 1966, and in Game 1 of the 1966 World Series, Drabowsky relieved an ineffective Dave McNally with the bases loaded and one out in the third inning.

Though he walked a batter to let in a run, he finished the inning with the Orioles leading 4–2, and he threw six scoreless innings after it to preserve the Game 1 victory.

The Orioles swept the Los Angeles Dodgers in four games.

1968

Drabowsky was selected by the Kansas City Royals in the expansion draft after the 1968 season.

He won their first game in franchise history and led the AL in wins for relief pitchers, with 11.

1970

In 1970, he was traded back to Baltimore, where he won his second World Series, this one against the Reds.

1971

He pitched for the St. Louis Cardinals in 1971 and 1972 before finishing out his career with the Chicago White Sox that year.

1980

After his career, Drabowsky worked for an envelope company and a communications firm until the 1980s, when increased salaries for coaches allowed him to support himself in baseball.

1986

He was the pitching coach for the White Sox in 1986, then for several of their minor league teams.

1994

Later, he served as the pitching coach for the Cubs in 1994, before rejoining the Orioles as their minor league pitching instructor in Florida.

2006

He died June 10, 2006, at the age of 70.

Moe was born Miroslav Drabowski in Ozanna, a village in southern Poland, located near Leżajsk, and was Jewish.

His mother was an American citizen.
