Eddie Watt pitched in ten Major Leagues seasons and the first eight of them with the Baltimore Orioles. Watt was signed as an amateur free agent by the Orioles and he made his big league debut in 1966. He started 13 games in his rookie season, but would continue his career exclusively as a relief pitcher. Watt was a member of four American League Championship Orioles teams with three of them being World Series winners.
Watt pitched a season each with the Philadelphia Phillies and the Chicago Cubs before playing in his final Major League game in 1975.
Watt started the 1976 season on the Padres' AAA-affiliate Hawaii Islanders. He became a player-coach in the following year and pitched his last professional game in 1968. He continued to coach in the minor leagues until retiring in 2003.
About This Card
One of the reasons I enjoy the design of the 1973 Topps set is because of its simplicity. Simple portraits attract more attention simply because the design does not overshadow it.
