Former Cubs pitcher Ernie Broglio, whom the team infamously acquired from the St. Louis Cardinals for eventual Hall of Fame outfielder Lou Brock, died Tuesday at 83 in San Jose, California, after battling cancer, his daughter, Nancy Broglio, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Broglio tied for the National League lead in victories with the Cardinals in 1960 with 21, and he won 18 games in 1963. In June 1964, the Cardinals dealt him to the Cubs, but he was never the same pitcher.
He went 4-7 that year while dealing with arm trouble. He went 1-6 and 2-6 in the next two seasons, and 1966 was his last in the majors.
