Rick Camp Stats

Rick Camp was born on Tuesday, June 10, 1952, in Trion, Georgia. Camp was 24 years old when he broke into the big leagues on September 15, 1976, with the Atlanta Braves. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Rick Camp baseball stats page.

"The Braves trailed the Mets 16-13 with two on and two out in the bottom of the 19th, six hours and 51 minutes after the game's rain-delayed start. Rick Camp, the pitcher who had hit his first career home run in the 18th on a two-out, 0-2 pitch to tie the game, came to the plate. The 7,000 or so fans left from a July 4 Fireworks Night crowd of 44,947 in Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium started to chant: 'We want Camp!' Camp was not amused. 'If this team needs me to hit a home run to win a game, it's in trouble,' he said. He was right. At 3:55 a.m., E.D.T., Friday, July 5, Ron Darling, pitching in relief for the first time since he was a freshman at Yale, struck out Camp. It was the longest game of the season both in hours and innings, and, as far as anyone knows, it was the latest a major league game has ever ended. 'The strangest game I've ever seen,' said the Mets' Keith Hernandez, who hit for the cycle." - Sportswriter Henry Hecht in Sports Illustrated (July 15, 1985 | Volume 63, Issue 3, 'Inside Pitch', Page 64)
