Roger Craig was in his first year in the bigs in 1955. And he was on a World Series winner, the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Craig spent about half the time (10) starting at the other half (11) relieving. In all Roger appeared in 21 games in '55. He won more games, obviously, as a starter, five. Plus Craig won his only World Series start that year. As a reliever he was 0-1 but with an excellent earned run average, 1.61 in eleven outings. It was over three as a starter. Sadly, Craig didn't get to use any of that reliever stuff in the Fall Classic vs. the New York Yankees.
Overall, despite just two saves, Roger Craig proved to be a valuable member of the Brooklyn relievers in '55. His ERA was 2.78 in his 21 appearances. He didn't blow a save, or record a hold. His Wins Above Replacement was 1.8 and opposing hitters batted just .238 against him. Craig's WHIP was 1.368. Craig only averaged 4.8 K's per 9, but he'd stay at that number even as a starter.
Craig was 12-11 in 1956 for the Dodgers, but slipped to an ERA of 3.71. He'd go just 6-9 and 2-1 the next two seasons, as Brooklyn abandoned their home in Ebbets' Field and headed west. In 1959 the Dodgers brought Los Angeles a pennant, and Roger Craig played a huge part in it. Craig went 11-5 with an ERA of just 2.06. But he didn't pitch enough innings to qualify for the earned run average crown. He went 0-1 in the Fall Classic, suffering an 11-0 loss in game one vs. the Chicago White Sox. It appeared that he'd win game four and put LA up 3-1 in the series, but he couldn't hold a 4-0 lead. Los Angeles won the game after he was pulled.
Craig continued to contribute. He was 8-3 in 1960, pitching as both a starter and reliever. But Sandy Koufax was a disappointing 8-13 that year. However, he fanned 197 batters in just 175 IP and dropped his ERA below 4.00 for the first time since heading out west. Sandy would be 18-13 the next year as better days were ahead for the Dodgers.
But not for Craig. He spent two years with the New York Mets after going 5-6 with an earned run average over six in '61. With the Mets? Craig could go only 10-24 and 5-22. But he wasn't that bad. His ERA was 4.51 in '62 and 3.78 in 1963. The team was one of two new teams in the Senior Circuit in 1962, and lost 120 contests that year (Against 40 wins).
But then, in 1964, Craig started his last MLB game. Now with the pennant-bound St. Louis Cardinals, Roger made nineteen starts and eleven relief appearances. He was only 7-9 but posted a 3.25 earned run average. He was back in the World Series to face the New York Yankees again, just like he had in 1955 and '56. Bob Gibson started game two, but was pinch-hit for in the last of the eighth, trailing, 4-1. St. Louis got a run back that inning, but the visitors got out ahead 4-2. New York exploded in the ninth inning. Phil Linz homered off reliever Barney Schultz. Roger Maris singled with one out. Mickey Mantle doubled to left off new pitcher Gordy Richardson, scoring Maris. 6-2. Elston Howard was walked intentionally. Joe Pepitone singled. Mantle scored. 7-2. Tom Tresh flied out. Howard scored. 8-2. Clete Boyer was then walked in intentionally. Roger Craig came in. Runners on first and second. The batter was the Yankees' starting pitcher Mel Stottlemyre. Craig fanned him.
It was, of course, too late. New York won the game 8-3. They won game three at Yankee Stadium, 2-1. Game four started out no better. The first four New York batters got hits off starter Ray Sadecki. The only out was when Mickey Mantle tried for second on a ball hit to right. Mike Shannon had the ball bounce of his glove. He managed to recover in time to nail Mickey at second. But Sadecki's night was over. Roger Craig came in to pitch. 2-0, New York. Roger Maris on third. One out. Elston Howard greeted him with a single, 3-0. Craig settled down. He quickly got the Cards out of the inning with no further damage as he fanned Tommy Tresh and got Joe Pepitone to fly out to Shannon in right.
In the second, St. Louis was retired 1-2-3, just like in the first. But, Craig matched the Yankees' pitcher Al Downing with a 1-2-3 inning of his own, fanning the side. In the third, Craig got the first two batters out, then faltered. Mantle drew a walk. Having given up a single to Elston Howard back in the first, Roger Craig might have gotten a little to careful with the Yankees' catcher. He walked him, too. But would you believe it? Craig picked Mantle off second!
In the last of the fourth, Tresh fanned again. One away. But then Joe Pepitone drew Roger Craig's third walk of the game. Clete Boyer singled. Craig had given up two hits, three walks. But he'd also fanned five batters. Al Downing, still with that 3-0 lead batted and became Craig's sixth strikeout victim. Downing had fanned in the last of the second, too. Phil Linz batted. And just like that, he became Craig's seventh K. With two away in the last of the fifth, Mantle wasn't getting on. He became Craig's eighth strikeout victim. Roger Craig had pitched 4 2/3 innings and not allowed a run.
It was still 3-0 for the home team in the top of the sixth. St. Louis took the lead in that inning via a Ken Boyer grand slam. Craig, however, was out of the game. Carl Wawrick had batted for him and singled in that four-run uprising. It was Canadian Ron Taylor who threw four shutout innings of his own, preserving a 4-3 Cardinals win and making Craig the pitcher of record.
St. Louis won game five, 5-2, but lost game six back at home. Though Bob Gibson had a 6-0 lead going into the top of the sixth, he was pitching on just three day's rest. Soon, Craig and Ray Sadecki were throwing as the Yankee bats came alive. Bobby Richardson singled. So did Roger Maris. Mickey Mantle took Gibson out of the park. The lead was cut in half, 6-3. Manager Johnny Keane stayed with Gibson, although Clete Boyer and Phil Linz touched him up with solo HR's in the ninth inning. Bob held on for a 7-5, series-clinching win.
Craig did not return to St. Louis for 1965. Instead, he joined the Cincinnati Reds. He was so-so: 1-4 with a 3.64 ERA. In 1966, Roger was on the move again, going to Philadelphia. He'd now pitched for all three teams that had battled it out for the National League pennant in 1964 (The Reds and Phillies finished one game back of the Cardinals). Alas, Craig was unable to help Philly. Although 2-1, his earned run average climbed to over five (5.56). Roger was released in July. He caught on with the California Angels, but was stuck in the minors the rest of the year despite posting an ERA of just 2.45 in six appearances (Three starts) with Seattle of the Pacific Coast League (AAA). Craig was pretty much done as a pitcher after 1966, as the Los Angeles Dodgers opened the door for him on a managerial career. He first scouted in 1967, but was promoted to manager of their "AA" team, Albuquerque for the '68 season. Roger made his last appearance on the mound in organized baseball that season, pitching a four innings, three-hit starting effort. Craig did not allow a run.
