Baseball career Washburn was born in Pasco, Washington and was a 1961 graduate of Whitworth University. Washburn, a $50,000 "bonus baby," went 12–9 with the Cardinals as a rookie in 1962.

Relying mostly on a curveball, Washburn returned to the starting rotation in 1966, winning 11 games against 9 losses; in 1967, he won 10 games against 7 losses on a Cardinal team that won the World Series, defeating the Boston Red Sox in seven games. He had missed nearly a month of action that season after his thumb was dislocated by a Johnny Roseboro line drive single on June 21.
