Good lord, Lawrence "Bobby" Locke threw 102 complete games in the minors!

Signed in 1953, it took him until 1959 to reach Cleveland. To the Cubs in Spring Training 1962 (never pitched for them, appears to have been on the big league regular season roster) to the Cardinals for one game April 22, 1962, traded to the Phillies April 28 - and made cameos with them the next three seasons. Phils traded him to the Angels for 1965; Angels dealt him to the Reds for Jim Coates; Angels bought him back in '66 and brought him up at the end of the '67 campaign (he won three, save two, in nine September appearances) and he was up and down with them in 1968, his final year.
