Below the radar career reliever….actually
an unsung hero as the 1969 Senators rose from AL bottom division to win 90
games….lead team in saves with 16…..A 1970 trade to Indian turned out bad for both
Dennis as a player and Senators as a team….The result Senators returned to the basement and Higgins’s ERA with the Tribe rose….acquired by St Louis but was non factor at this point, spending most
of 1971 in an ugly AAA stint going 2-11…called up regardless by the terminus of
St. Louis….was able to log in 15 games for Cards in 1972 his final pro season….started
with ChiSox 1966…appeared in 42 games and career best 2.52 ERA in debut season…sidelined
most of 1967 with eye problems but came back in 1968 with the Nats.
