Former Cardinal pitcher Ernie Broglio dies at 83

Brock, a promising but inconsistent outfielder for the Cubs, went on to hit .348 for the Cardinals after they acquired him in 1964, sparking the club to the National League pennant and then the World Series title.

In the next two seasons, Broglio was 1-6 and then 2-6 for Chicago and never pitched in the majors after 1966. He would finish 7-19 for the Cubs after going 70-55 for the Cardinals.

Broglio’s death was the third of former Cardinals in the past two weeks. Also dying were reserve outfielder Gary Kolb, at 79, and lefthanded pitcher Joe Grzenda at 82,
