Former Oriole Dobson Is Dead at 64
Dobson died Wednesday night in the San Diego area, the San Francisco Giants said yesterday. He was a special assistant to Giants General Manager Brian Sabean this year, his ninth with the club. The team didn’t immediately know the cause of death.
Dobson went 20-8 with a 2.90 ERA for the AL champion Orioles in 1971, rounding out a famous rotation that also included Hall of Famer Jim Palmer (20-9), Dave McNally (21-5) and Mike Cuellar (20-9). The 1920 Chicago White Sox are the only other team in major league history to have four 20-game winners.
“He had a great curveball,” said Hall of Famer Frank Robinson, Dobson’s teammate with the Orioles. “He didn’t give in to anybody.”
An all-star with Baltimore in 1972, Dobson was 122-129 with a 3.54 ERA in 11 major league seasons and won a World Series ring with the 1968 Detroit Tigers. He also pitched for San Diego, Atlanta, the New York Yankees and Cleveland.
“He made his life baseball,” Former Orioles manager Earl Weaver said, “and enjoyed every minute of it.”
Dobson is survived by wife Kathe and six children: Pat III, Nancy, Stacy, Chris, Shannon and Stephanie.
