[edit] Biographical Information
Ernie Broglio was a capable starting pitcher with the St. Louis Cardinals, winning 21 games in 1960 and 18 games in 1963, but he is most remembered for being part of one of the most lopsided trades in baseball history. Midway through the 1964 season, he was traded to the Chicago Cubs along with two other players for Lou Brock and two others. Broglio went 7-19 in two and a half seasons with the Cubs, but Brock went on to hit just under .300 and steal 888 bases in a decade and a half with the Cardinals.
