Robert Joseph Thorpe (June 12, 1935 – March 17, 1960) was an American professional baseball player, a right-handed pitcher who experienced instant success at the minor league level, had a brief and promising trial with the Chicago Cubs of Major League Baseball, then was driven from the game by a sore arm and elbow surgery by the end of 1959. Less than a year after his retirement from baseball, Thorpe was working as an apprentice electrician on power lines in his native city of San Diego, California, when he was accidentally electrocuted at the age of 24.〔''The Sporting News'', March 30, 1960, page 26, cited in TheDeadBallEra.com〕 Thorpe stood tall and weighed . He signed with the Cubs in 1953 and his first two seasons in baseball, with the Stockton Ports of the Class C California League, saw him win 44 of 56 decisions.〔(Minor league statistics from Baseball Reference )〕 In 1954, he was named the league's Most Valuable Player after posting a 28–4 record with the California circuit's top earned run average, 2.28, in 300 innings pitched.〔Wolff, Miles, and Johnson, Lloyd, eds., ''The Encyclopedia of Minor League Baseball,'' 3rd edition. Durham, North Carolina: Baseball America, 2007〕 The performance earned him a five-level promotion to the Major League Cubs at the outset of the 1955 season. He appeared in two MLB games for the Cubs. In his debut, he worked the final inning of a 14–1 loss at the hands of the St. Louis Cardinals — but retired the Redbirds in order.〔(1955-4-17(2) box score from Retrosheet )〕 In his second and final stint, Thorpe hurled the final two innings of another losing effort, this time against the Milwaukee Braves, and allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits.〔(1955-4-20 box score from Retrosheet )〕 Thorpe spent the rest of his career in the higher levels of the minors. He was selected by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 1957 Rule 5 draft, but developed a sore arm. He missed the entire 1958 season after elbow surgery and retired after only three appearances at the Class A level in 1959. ==References==
