Signed as a "bonus baby" by the Los Angeles Dodgers (and thus required to stay on the major league roster for his first season), he posted a 3–1 record and 2.66 ERA in 1963 but then developed arm trouble in the minor leagues; later traded to the Chicago Cubs, he never won another game in the majors.[3]
He is the uncle of Rocky Calmus, who played in the NFL after winning the Butkus Award in 2001 as a linebacker for the University of Oklahoma.[4]
