After his first three seasons in the Big Leagues as a member of the Texas Rangers, Stanhouse found himself North of the border with the Expos.
In those four appearances, three of which were starts, Stanhouse didn’t factor in a decision while throwing to a 8.31 earned run average over 13 innings of work.
After the Expos made him a starter in 1976, he had a season that saw him post a career high 184 innings on the mound, going 9-12 with a 3.77 ERA in 34 games.
But it was his 1978 and 1979 seasons with the Baltimore Orioles that got Stanhouse some attention when he posted sub-3.00 ERA’s and 20+ saves each year.
In 1979, he helped the Orioles make it all the way to the World Series, even making the only All-Star team of his career.
Sadly for him after finding himself in Los Angeles in 1980 after signing as a Free Agent, he never found that groove again, suffering injuries and limiting him to only 38 more games between 1980 and 1982, with only 51.2 innings pitched.
