Raymond Francis Oyler
Detroit Tigers
Shortstop

Bats:  Right  Throws:  Right  Height:  5'11"  Weight:  165
Born:  August 4, 1937, Indianapolis, IN
Signed:  Signed by the Detroit Tigers as an amateur free agent before 1960 season

Died:  January 26, 1981, Redmond, WA (age 43)

Slugger Jim Northrup played over a decade with the Tigers, hitting at least 10 home runs in eight different seasons and playing as the regular right fielder on the 1968 World Championship team.  He shifted to center field for the World Series, as Tigers' manager Mayo Smith moved regular center fielder Mickey Stanley to shortstop to replace the light-hitting Ray Oyler.  Northrup led that Tigers squad in hits (153) and RBIs (90) and had a game-winning two-run triple off the Cardinals' Bob Gibson (#320) in the decisive Game 7 of the Series.  He hit four grand slams during the regular season and another in Game 6 of the World Series.  Northrup was dealt to the Expos in August 1974 and he'd play the last two seasons of his career with the Expos and Orioles.  Northrup collected 1,254 hits in the majors while batting .267 with 153 home runs and 610 RBIs. 

The light hitting Oyler holds the distinction of having the lowest career batting average (.175) of any position player with at least 1,000 at-bats in modern baseball history.  He hit a career "high" .207 in 1967 and as mentioned above he lost his starting shortstop job during the 1968 World Series.  Oyler appeared in four World Series games as a late inning defensive replacement at shortstop, and delivered a sacrifice bunt in his sole plate appearance.  Following the World Series, Oyler was left unprotected in the 1968 expansion draft and was the third overall pick by the Pilots.  He was the opening day shortstop for the Pilots, starting 93 games in their only year of existence.  Oyler was dealt to the Athletics following the 1969 season, and while he'd go to spring training with the club, he never played for them as he was sold to the Angels on April 17, 1970.  He'd play in 24 games with the Angels before his big league career came to an end. 

Building the Set
June 5, 2021 from Tomball, TX - Card #305
To celebrate the unofficial beginning of summer, I took advantage of a 15% Memorial Day Weekend sale hosted by one of my favorite dealers, The Battersbox, from Tomball, Texas.  With the second series now complete, I spent an enjoyable hour or so over the long (and rainy) holiday weekend picking 20 commons from the third series to add to our set.  The package of cards arrived on June 5th and in total, the lot cost me a little more than $63.  Surprisingly, this was the most expensive card in the lot, costing a little over $10.

The Card / Tigers Team Set
This is the rookie card for both players and as mentioned above both would go on to be a part of the Tigers' 1968 World Championship team.  The card would have been issued shortly after Oyler's big league debut with the Tigers on April 18, 1965.  Given his reputation as all glove, no bat, it's amazing that Oyler hit 19 home runs in 1964 for the Triple-A Syracuse Chiefs.  Finally, it looks as if the Tigers' logo on Northrup's hat has been painted on?  Perhaps he's wearing a Chiefs hat here, and instead of just blacking out that logo, Topps opted to have an artist add the Old English D.

1965 Season - Northrup
Northrup was the opening day left fielder for the Tigers but he'd soon lose playing time to Willie Horton (#206) who got the bulk of the starts in left for the season.  Northrup spent most of the season as a back-up to Horton or Al Kaline (#130).  In 80 games, he batted .205 with just two home runs and 58 RBIs.  Northrup would finally get regular playing time in 1966 and he'd be a mainstay in the Tigers line-up for the next eight-plus seasons.

1965 Season - Oyler
Oyler made the Tigers' opening day roster and stuck around all season, eventually taking over the shortstop position full time from Dick McAuliffe (#53).  In 82 games, Oyler batted .186 with five home runs and 13 RBIs.

#258 Larry Bearnarth - New York Mets

Lawrence Donald Bearnarth
New York Mets
Pitcher

Bats:  Right  Throws:  Right  Height:  6'2"  Weight:  203
Born:  September 11, 1941, New York, NY
Signed:  Signed by the New York Mets as an amateur free agent before 1962 season
Major League Teams:  New York Mets 1963-1966; Milwaukee Brewers 1971
Died:  December 31, 1999, Seminole, FL (age 58)

Larry Bearnarth peaked during his rookie season of 1963 with the Mets, going 3-8 with a 3.42 ERA over  a career-high 126 1/3 innings pitched.  That Mets team lost 111 times and Bearnarth was the pitching staff's games pitched leader with 58 appearances and saves leader with four.  He'd return to the Mets bullpen over the next three seasons, solidifying the team's beleaguered bullpen and occasionally missing time due to a lingering arm injury.  Bearnarth was demoted to the minors in mid-1966, and he'd spend the next four full seasons pitching regularly for the Mets' top farm team without a promotion to the majors.  Following the 1970 season, he was sold to the Brewers and he'd make just two appearances with Milwaukee in 1971.  Over 173 big league games, Bearnarth was 13-21 with a 4.13 ERA and eight saves.

He stayed in baseball following his playing days, latching on with the Montreal Expos as a major and minor league pitching coach between 1976 and 1991.  In 1993, he was named the first pitching coach in Colorado Rockies franchise history and he also scouted for the Tigers in the late 1990s.

The Card / Mets Team Set
This is the third of four appearances for Bearnarth in Topps flagship sets.  We'll probably never know the identify of the mystery Mets player running in the background as Bearnarth posed for his photo.  His quick rise to the majors is highlighted on the back of the card.

1965 Season
Bearnarth began the 1965 season dealing with a right arm injury and was used sparingly by manager Casey Stengel (#187) over the first month of the season.  He then went on a hot streak between May and June, but faltered again in July.  With Stengel retiring mid-season, new manager Wes Westrum began tinkering with the Mets roster and Bearnarth was demoted to Triple-A Buffalo.  He made six appearances for the Bisons before returning to the Mets when rosters expanded in September.  Pitching in 40 games, and despite his brief demotion, Bearnarth still led all Mets relievers in appearances.   He went 3-5 with a 4.60 ERA over 60 2/3 innings pitched, saving a game.

#253 Danny Cater - Chicago White Sox

Danny Anderson Cater
Chicago White Sox
Outfield

Bats:  Right  Throws:  Right  Height:  6'0"  Weight:  170
Born:  February 25, 1940, Austin, TX
Signed:  Signed by the Philadelphia Phillies as an amateur free agent, June 8, 1958
Major League Teams:  Philadelphia Phillies 1964; Chicago White Sox 1965-1966; Kansas City Athletics 1966-1967; Oakland Athletics 1968-1969; New York Yankees 1970-1971; Boston Red Sox 1972-1974; St. Louis Cardinals 1975

Danny Cater tallied at least 500 plate appearances in six straight seasons as an everyday first baseman for the White Sox, Athletics and Yankees.  He was a tough batter to strike out, but his lack of speed resulted in Cater finishing in the top ten of double plays grounded into in six different seasons.  Cater finished second in the American League in batting in 1968 with a .290 average during the Year of the Pitcher.  He also led all American League first baseman in fielding percentage that season (.995) and his .994 career fielding percentage is currently 71st all-time for the position.  Cater was involved in a lopsided trade in March 1972, with the Yankees shipping him and Mario Guerrero to the Red Sox for Sparky Lyle.  Lyle would enjoy three All-Star seasons with the Yankees and win the American League Cy Young Award in 1977.

Cater was released by the Cardinals on July 26, 1975, ending his playing career.  In 1,289 career games, Cater batted .276 with 1,229 hits, 66 home runs and 519 RBIs.  He briefly served as a minor league hitting instructor for the Yankees in 1976 before leaving baseball behind and returning to his home state of Texas.

The Card / White Sox Team Set
Cater is wearing a Phillies uniform here and Topps gets credit for updating his team designation.  The Phillies traded Cater and Lee Elia to the White Sox on December 1, 1964 for Ray Herbert (#399) and Jeoff Long.  Cater had previously shared a Rookie Stars card in the 1964 Topps set with Phillies teammate John Briggs (#163).  His trade from the Phillies is mentioned on the back of the card.

1965 Season
In his first full season with the White Sox, Cater was the club's opening day left fielder and he'd share outfield duties for most of the season with Ken Berry (#368) in center and Floyd Robinson (#345) in right.  Cater appeared in 142 games, collecting 139 hits while batting .270 with 14 home runs and 55 RBIs.  His hit tally was fourth on the team behind Don Buford (#81) with 166, Bill Skowron (#70) with 153 and Robinson with 153.  Cater's home run total marked a career high for him.

Phillies Career
Cater was one of six rookies to make the Phillies opening day roster in 1964 after having been invited to spring training as a non-roster player.  He was the club's opening day left fielder, and served in a platoon with Wes Covington (#583) until breaking his arm on July 22nd.  Cater collided with the Braves' Joe Torre (#200) on a play at first base, fracturing his arm near the wrist.  He'd miss all of August and return September 1st, making only three starts that month during the club's epic collapse.  On November 29th, the Phillies acquired Dick Stuart (#280) from the Red Sox and Cater became expendable.  He was dealt to the White Sox a few days later.  Cater appeared in 60 games for the Phillies, batting .296 with 45 hits, a home run and 13 RBIs.  During his short time with the club, he played all three outfield positions and both corner infield positions.

#230 Ray Sadecki - St. Louis Cardinals

Raymond Michael Sadecki
St. Louis Cardinals
Pitcher

Bats:  Left  Throws:  Left  Height:  5'11"  Weight:  180
Born:  December 26, 1940, Kansas City, KS
Signed:  Signed by the St. Louis Cardinals as an amateur free agent before 1958 season
Major League Teams:  St. Louis Cardinals 1960-1966; San Francisco Giants 1966-1969; New York Mets 1970-1974; St. Louis Cardinals 1975; Atlanta Braves 1975; Kansas City Royals 1975-1976; Milwaukee Brewers 1976; New York Mets 1977
Died:  November 17, 2014, Mesa, AZ (age 73)

A 20-game winner for the World Champion Cardinals in 1964, Ray Sadecki would pitch in parts of 18 big league seasons, primarily with the Cardinals, Giants and Mets.  His second season in the majors was perhaps his best as he made 31 starts in 1961, going 14-10 with a 3.72 ERA and 114 strikeouts.  After helping the Cardinals reach the World Series, Sadecki pitched with the club for another season and a half before being dealt to the Giants on May 8, 1966 for Orlando Cepeda (#360).  He lost 18 games for the Giants in 1968, leading the league in that category and before the 1970 season he was dealt again, this time to the Mets.  Sadecki had his most consistent years with the Mets, and he was used as both a starter and a reliever.  Behind Tug McGraw (#533), he was the Mets' most reliable relief pitcher in 1973 and although the Mets lost the World Series in seven games to the Athletics, Sadecki pitched well in the postseason.  In four World Series games, Sadecki allowed just a run over 4 2/3 innings pitched.

Sadecki was traded back to his original team, the Cardinals, on October 13, 1974 for Joe Torre (#200).  He spent the next three seasons with five different teams, wrapping up his big league career with four games for the Mets in 1977.  Sadecki returned to baseball in the early 1990s as a minor league coach for the Cubs and Giants.

Ten days after these cards arrived, we were celebrating our oldest son Doug's promotion from the middle school to the high school.

The Card / Cardinals Team Set
This is Sadecki's second appearance in the set, as he also appeared on the N.L. Pitching Leaders card (#10) having finished third in the league in wins in 1964 with 20.  On the back of the card, his World Series win over the Yankees is highlighted.  Sadecki started Game 1, giving up four runs on eight hits over six innings of work.  He started Game 4 as well, but only recorded one out before manager Johnny Keane (#131) pulled him in favor of Roger Craig (#411).

1965 Season
The Cardinals and Sadecki came back down to Earth after their World Series victory.  Sadecki appeared in 36 games (28 starts) and went 6-15 with a 5.21 ERA, after starting the season with an 0-4 record and a 8.20 ERA.  New Cardinals manager Red Schoendienst (#556) couldn't quite figure out how or when to use Sadecki and he spent much of the season shifting between a starting role and a relief role.

#227 Bobby Klaus - New York Mets

Robert Francis Klaus
New York Mets
Third Base

Bats:  Right  Throws:  Right  Height:  5'10"  Weight:  170
Born:  December 27, 1937, Spring Grove, IL
Signed:  Signed by the Cincinnati Reds as an amateur free agent before 1959 season
Major League Teams:  Cincinnati Reds 1964; New York Mets 1964-1965

Bobby Klaus made his big league debut shortly after the start of the 1964 season and the Reds hoped he could supplement a middle infield consisting of Pete Rose (#207) at second base and Chico Ruiz (#554) or Steve Boros (#102) at shortstop.  Klaus made 22 starts with the club, struggling mightily, and was traded to the Mets on July 28, 1964 for first baseman Tim Harkness.  Klaus fared slightly better with the Mets, making 22 starts with the team in 1964 and a career-high 82 starts in 1965 - all at either second, third or short.  He played in his final big league game on October 3, 1965 and finished with a .208 average over 215 games with 123 hits, six home runs and 29 RBIs.  Klaus played four more seasons in the minor leagues in the Phillies and Pirates organizations, before ultimately retiring.

My wife Jenna spent a lot of hours in June driving Doug back and forth to his baseball practices, and then we got to enjoy a relatively close baseball tournament at Rowan University over the second weekend in June.

The Card / Mets Team Set
Klaus first appeared on a Reds Rookie Stars card with pitcher Jim Dickson (#286) in 1964.  Topps can be forgiven for not having a good picture of Klaus in a Mets jersey in time for his 1965 Topps card, as he joined the Mets in late July and then played sparingly.  He gets to actually wear a Mets jersey on his 1966 Topps card.  The back of the card references his older brother, Billy Klaus.  Billy was a veteran of 11 big league seasons with the Braves (1952-1953), Red Sox (1955-1958), Orioles (1959-1960), Senators (1961) and Phillies (1962-1963).

1965 Season
Klaus appeared in 119 games for the Mets, batting .191 with 55 hits, a pair of home runs and 12 RBIs.  He didn't have a full-time position, splitting up second base duties with Chuck Hiller (#531) and Ron Hunt (#285).  Hiller and Klaus each made 60 starts at second base while Hunt got the other 44 starts.  Klaus also made 25 appearances at third base and 29 appearances at shortstop.

Phillies Connection

On February 22, 1966, the Mets traded Klaus with Wayne Graham and Jimmie Schaffer (#313) to the Phillies for Dick Stuart (#280).  Klaus would never earn a promotion to the Phillies, playing three full seasons for the team's top farm club at the time, the San Diego Padres.  Klaus finally achieved status as an everyday player, starting almost all of the team's games at second base during those three seasons.  Klaus batted .242 over 423 games with the Padres and contributed 127 RBIs.  He was one of the club's most durable players during San Diego's final three years having a minor league team.  In 1969, the expansion Padres joined the major leagues and the major league Padres had selected Klaus in the 1968 rule 5 draft from the Phillies.  His time with the big league version of the Padres was limited however as he was dealt to the Pirates on March 28, 1969, prior to the start of the regular season.  A Klaus-less Padres club played their first big league game on April 8, 1969.

#215 Pete Ward - Chicago White Sox

Peter Thomas Ward
Chicago White Sox
Third Base

Bats:  Left  Throws:  Right  Height:  6'1"  Weight:  185
Born:  July 26, 1937, Montreal, Canada
Signed:  Signed by the Baltimore Orioles as an amateur free agent before 1958 season
Major League Teams:  Baltimore Orioles 1962; Chicago White Sox 1963-1969; New York Yankees 1970

Born in Montreal, Pete Ward is the son of former professional hockey player Jimmy Ward, who played 11 seasons in the NHL.  Ward came up through the Orioles system, but with Brooks Robinson (#150) ahead of him in the team's third base depth chart, a change of scenery was needed.  He was swapped to the White Sox before the 1963 season with Hoyt Wilhelm (#276), Ron Hansen (#146) and Dave Nicholson (#183) for Luis Aparicio (#410) and Al Smith.  Ward had a fantastic rookie season in 1963, batting .295 with 22 home runs and 84 RBIs and finishing second in the A.L. Rookie of the Year voting behind teammate Gary Peters (#430).  He had an even better season in 1964, batting .282 with career highs in both home runs (23) and RBIs (94), finishing in sixth place in the league's MVP voting.  His production fell off after that season and the rest of his playing days were marred by a back injury.  Ward played in 973 big league games, batting .254 with 776 hits, 98 home runs and 427 RBIs.

After playing a final year with the Yankees in 1970, he stayed with the club as a minor league manager between 1972 and 1977.  Ward also served on the big league staff of manager Bobby Cox with the Braves in 1978.  He was a long-time manager of the Portland Beavers and was ultimately inducted into both the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame and the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame.

As luck would have it, I'm composing this post on Ward's 84th birthday and it will be scheduled for a future date for publishing.

The Card / White Sox Team Set
Ward looks happy on most of his baseball cards, and this card is no exception.  The cartoon highlight on the back is referring to Ward's status as the The Sporting News A.L. Rookie of the Year.  As mentioned above, he was runner-up to Peters for the award voted on by the Baseball Writers' Association of America.  His 23 home runs led the team, and bested shortstop Hansen who hit 20 home runs for the White Sox in 1964.  Ward, at card #64, is one of 72 players featured within the 1965 Topps Embossed insert set and one of three White Sox in the set.  He's also in the harder to find 1965 Topps Transfers insert set.

1965 Season
Ward was still the White Sox regular third baseman, briefly missing time in June and July with his back injury.  He appeared in 138 games, batting .247 with 10 home runs and 57 RBIs.
