Ex MLB P Joe Schaffernoth success

[solracc1]

The right-handed pitcher appeared in 74 games, all but one as a relief pitcher, for the Chicago Cubs from 1959 to 1961 and the Cleveland Indians in 1961. Schaffernoth attended Jonathan Dayton High School in Springfield Township, Union County, New Jersey. After graduating, he was signed as an amateur free agent by the Chicago Cubs. He began his professional career in 1956 with the Paris Lakers. In 31 games, he had a win-loss record of 21-6 and a 2.72 earned run average. The following two seasons, he played for the Des Moines Bruins and Pueblo Bruins and had records of 9-12 and 5-8. After joining the Cubs roster for spring training, Schaffernoth made the team, and made his major league debut on April 15, 1959. When the Cubs signed Bob Porterfield a month later, Schaffernoth was placed on the disabled list due to an elbow injury, and finished the year with the Fort Worth Cats. In 1960, Schaffernoth spent the year with the Cubs, and had his best season. In 33 games with the team, he had a 2-3 record, a 2.78 ERA, and 33 strikeouts in 55 innings pitched.

He's a really nice guy, I'm from BH and have met him a few times. Signed a few of his rookie cards and balls for me.
Congrats on the success.
