Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Stephen David Barber (February 22, 1938 - February 4, 2007) was an American left-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball from 1960 to 1974, best known for his years with the Baltimore Orioles. In 1963 he became the first pitcher of the modern Orioles to win 20 games in a season. Barber was born in Takoma Park, Maryland and graduated in 1956 from Montgomery Blair High School located in Silver Spring in Montgomery County, Maryland. He signed with the Orioles in 1957. As a 1960 rookie he had a record of 10-7 and an earned run average of 3.22 (sixth best in the American League), but also led the AL in both walks (113) and wild pitches (10). In 1961 he tied for the AL lead in shutouts with 8, and had a record of 18-12. In 1963 he compiled 20 wins against 13 losses, with a 2.75 ERA, and was named an All-Star for the first time. He was again named an All-Star in 1966, but tendinitis in his elbow prevented him from appearing in the game, and also kept him out of the World Series as the Orioles swept the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers in four games for the first title in franchise history.
