Ernest Gilbert Broglio (/ˈbroʊlioʊ/; born August 27, 1935) is a former right-handed pitcher in American Major League Baseball from 1959 to 1966. Broglio signed with the independent Oakland Oaks of the Pacific Coast League after he attended West Contra Costa Junior College. He was acquired by the New York Giants in 1956. After two seasons in the Giants’ minor league system—when he won 17 games each year—Broglio was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals in October 1958.
Although he led the National League in wins with 21 for the 1960 Cardinals and won 18 for the 1963 Redbirds, Broglio is best remembered as the "other player" in the ultimately lopsided trade that sent future Baseball Hall of Fame outfielder Lou Brock from the Chicago Cubs to the Cardinals on June 15, 1964. His career in the majors came to an end two years later in the 1966 season.
Ernie Broglio was the second child born in Berkeley, California to his parents Anna and Joseph Broglio. After ten years, in 1945, his family moved to El Cerito. With his dad working seven days a week, carrying out two jobs, Ernie was self-motivated to play baseball and played on the varsity high school teams for baseball and basketball as an eighth grader. At the age of 17, Ernie graduated from El Cerrito High School and was drafted by the Oakland Oaks.
