Timeline
Bertram Ray Burris (born August 22, 1950) is an American former pitcher in Major League Baseball (MLB), and the current rehabilitation pitching coordinator in the Philadelphia Phillies organization.
In 1972, he received All-America honors and set a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics record with 150 strikeouts, and pitched the Bulldogs to a fifth-place finish at the NAIA National Tournament.
Burris was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the 17th round of the 1972 Major League Baseball draft.
He played in MLB from 1973 through 1987 for seven different teams.
Listed at 6 ft and 200 lb, he threw and batted right-handed.
Burris was born in Idabel, Oklahoma.
The son of sharecroppers, Burris spent up to fifteen hours a day working the fields with his family through high school.
He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Recreational Leadership at Southwestern Oklahoma State University, in addition to playing basketball and baseball.
After just one season in the Cubs' farm system, in which he went 7–5 with a 3.51 earned run average for the Texas League's Midland Cubs, Burris jumped to the majors to start the 1973 season.
He made his major league debut in the third game of the season against the Montreal Expos, and pitched 3.1 innings of scoreless ball.
In his next appearance, he made his only start of the season.
He pitched five innings of shutout ball to defeat Jon Matlack and the New York Mets.
He did not allow an earned run until his sixth appearance of the season, against the San Francisco Giants.
Overall, Burris went 1–1 with a 2.92 ERA.
He returned to the bullpen in 1974.
His first major league save was an impressive six out save, in which he struck out four of the six Pittsburgh Pirates batters he faced to secure the 1–0 victory.
Regardless, Cubs manager Jim Marshall moved Burris into the starting rotation for 1975.
He pitched his first career complete game in his first start.
His first career shutout on May 26 improved his record to 6–3 with a 3.57 ERA.
For the season, Burris led his team with fifteen victories, including each of his final six decisions on the season, and 238.1 innings pitched.
In 1976, Burris got off to a 1–7 start.
He was given the opening day start, and while he made a quality start (six innings pitched, two earned runs), he took the loss as St. Louis Cardinals starter Lynn McGlothen held the Cubs scoreless.
On July 18, he suffered a complete game loss to the San Diego Padres when Cubs shortstop Mick Kelleher's ninth inning error led to an unearned run.
His record stood at 4–11 at that point; however, Burris soon turned his season around.
He pitched a three-hit shutout over the Expos on July 27.
On September 11, he pitched into the tenth inning while allowing just one unearned run.
He followed that up with back-to-back shutouts of the Expos and Phillies to give him a stretch of 28 innings pitched without an earned run.
He went 11–2 with a 2.10 ERA over the remainder of the season to bring his record to 15–13.
His fifteen wins, 3.11 ERA, four shutouts and ten complete games all led the Cubs staff.
His 249 innings pitched was a career best.
Burris pitched the season opener again in 1977, and was again the victim of a hard luck loss.
Facing Tom Seaver and the New York Mets, Burris had a 2–0 lead when he took the mound in the sixth inning.
Two days later, he entered a game against the Philadelphia Phillies in the 11th inning with runners on first and second and one out.
He struck out Terry Harmon, and got Bob Boone to hit a weak pop up to first base to escape the inning, then pitched two more scoreless innings to earn his second win of the season, and lower his ERA to 0.93.
Things soon took a turn for the worse, however.
He entered a 3–3 tie with the Atlanta Braves with Hank Aaron at bat and the bases loaded.
The Hall of Famer hit a grand slam for career home run 721.
Burris then allowed an additional two earned runs, while only retiring one batter, before being relieved.
By the end of the season, Burris' ERA soared to 6.60.
As a starter, he was 0–4 with a 9.41 ERA in five starts, all in the second half of the season.
