Dick Calmus

Richard Lee Calmus (born January 7, 1944) is a former pitcher in Major League Baseball.

[1] He played baseball on the same high school team as fellow future major leaguer Carl Morton and won two state titles.

[2] Signed as a "bonus baby" by the Los Angeles Dodgers (and thus required to stay on the major league roster for his first season), he posted a 3–1 record and 2.66 ERA in 1963 but then developed arm trouble in the minor leagues; later traded to the Chicago Cubs, he never won another game in the majors.

[3] He is the uncle of Rocky Calmus, who played in the NFL after winning the Butkus Award in 2001 as a linebacker for the University of Oklahoma.
