Marty Bystrom Autographs
Marty Bystrom was a professional baseball player who was born on July 26, 1958, in Coral Gables, Florida. He attended high school in Coral Gables and was a standout athlete in both baseball and football. After graduating, he was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in the fifth round of the 1976 amateur draft, and he signed with the team for a $52,000 bonus.
Bystrom started his professional baseball career in 1976, and he spent the next four seasons in the Phillies' farm system. He made his major league debut in 1980 and quickly made an impact on the team, helping them win the National League pennant that year. Bystrom went 5-0 with a 1.50 ERA in six starts in September, and he won his only postseason start against the Houston Astros in the NLCS. He also started Game 5 of the World Series against the Kansas City Royals, but he gave up five runs in five innings and was pulled in the sixth inning. Despite the loss, Bystrom was named the Phillies' Rookie of the Year for his outstanding performance in 1980.
After his rookie season, Bystrom struggled with injuries and inconsistency. He played for the Phillies and the Seattle Mariners over the next six seasons, but he never regained the form that he showed in his rookie year. He retired from baseball in 1988 with a career record of 31-33 and a 4.23 ERA in 113 games. Despite his short career, Bystrom will always be remembered as the rookie phenom who helped lead the Phillies to their first World Series appearance in 30 years.
