#430 Gary Peters - Chicago White Sox

Gary Charles Peters
Chicago White Sox
Pitcher

Bats:  Left  Throws:  Left  Height:  6'2"  Weight:  200
Born:  April 21, 1937, Grove City, PA
Signed:  Signed by the Chicago White Sox as an amateur free agent before 1956 season
Major League Teams:  Chicago White Sox 1959-1969; Boston Red Sox 1970-1972

Between 1959 and 1962, lefty Gary Peters saw limited game action with the White Sox, appearing in 12 games and pitching just 21 innings over those four seasons.  He earned a spot on the White Sox pitching staff to begin the 1963 season and was used as a swing man for the club until earning a permanent job in their starting rotation that June.  Peters made the most of the opportunity, finishing the season with a 19-8 record and a league-leading 2.33 ERA.  He bested teammate Pete Ward (#215) for Rookie of the Year honors, receiving ten first place votes to Ward's six.  Peters would make his first of two All-Star teams in 1964 while compiling a 20 win season.  Despite a record of 12-10 in 1966 for the fourth place White Sox, Peters would earn his second ERA title with an impressive 1.98 mark.  He'd win 16 games in 1967 and pitched three scoreless innings in that year's All-Star Game, striking out four batters - Willie Mays (#250), Roberto Clemente (#160), Orlando Cepeda (#360) and Dick Allen (#460).

Peters spent his final three seasons with the Red Sox, retiring in 1972.  In 359 career games, Peters was 124-103 with a 3.25 ERA and 1,420 strikeouts.  Also a threat at the plate, Peters batted .222 and was often used by the White Sox as a pinch-hitter.  He had 19 career home runs with 102 RBIs.  Peters, along with 26 other players, was named to the Chicago White Sox All-Century Team in 2000.

March 6, 2022 from The Philly Show (Sports Cards Plus - Cooper City, FL) - Card #576

This is the 92nd of 102 cards acquired for our set from the Baseball Card Sports Memorabilia Show, affectionately known as The Philly Show, held in the basement of the Valley Forge Casino Resort in King of Prussia in early March.  We went nuts and left the show needing only 12 more cards to complete our 1965 Topps set, and I wrote about the show in detail over at The Phillies Room.  After our 51 card haul from Uncle Dick's, and with more card spending budget still in place, I set out to find another dealer with a binder of 1965 Topps cards with reasonable prices.  I had purchased cards from Sports Cards Plus before, finding the last few cards needed for our 1971 Topps set from this dealer back in December 2019.

Settling in, we found 37 cards needed for our set with an average price per card working out to around $6.  The lot, including this Peters card, consisted mostly of semi-stars and team cards.  After paying for this mini haul, we were officially 13 cards away from a complete set, with one more purchase coming to end the day.

The Card / White Sox Team Set
That's the number 43 peaking through on Peters' shoulder as he wore that number with the White Sox between 1963 and 1969.  He first appeared in the set back on card #9, the crowded 1964 A.L. Pitching Leaders card.  Peters shares the top row of that card with Dean Chance (#140), who also won 20 games in 1964.

Peters rookie card from the 1960 Topps set actually features teammate J.C. Martin (#382).  He'd actually appear on his 1961 Topps card before moving to a floating head Rookie Stars card in the 1963 Topps set.  This is the unlikely last card needed for us to complete the White Sox team set.

1965 Season
A groin injury hampered Peters all season, and he'd appear in 33 games, making 30 starts.  He was 10-12 with a 3.62 ERA as the White Sox finished in second place in the American League behind the Twins.

#297 Dave DeBusschere - Chicago White Sox

David Albert DeBusschere
Chicago White Sox
Pitcher

Bats:  Right  Throws:  Right  Height:  6'6"  Weight:  225
Born:  October 16, 1940, Detroit, MI
Signed:  Signed by the Chicago White Sox as an amateur free agent, April 1, 1962
Major League Teams:  Chicago White Sox 1962-1963
Died:  May 14, 2003, New York, NY (age 62)

Dave DeBusschere pitched in 36 games for the White Sox in 1962 and 1963, before beginning an illustrious professional basketball career that saw him named one of the 50 greatest players in NBA history in 1996, and joining other all-time greats on the NBA 75th Anniversary Team in 2021.  DeBusschere made a quick leap to the majors in 1962, appearing in eight games before a stint in the minor leagues that summer.  He returned as a September call-up to pitch in four more games.  DeBusschere spent all of 1963 with the White Sox, appearing in 24 games, including 10 starts, and going 3-4 with a 3.09 ERA over 84 1/3 innings pitched.  He'd spend two seasons in the minors before leaving baseball behind and focusing on his basketball career.  For his major league career, DeBusschere was 3-4 with a 2.90 ERA in 36 games.

DeBusschere played with the Detroit Pistons between 1962 and 1968, and then with the New York Knicks from 1968 to 1974.  He was a two-time NBA champion (1970 and 1973) and an eight-time NBA All-Star.  DeBusschere became the ABA's commissioner for the 1975-76 season, helping to bring about the merger between the ABA and the NBA.  His #22 was retired by the Knicks in 1981.

March 6, 2022 from The Philly Show (Sports Cards Plus - Cooper City, FL) - Card #553

This is the 69th of 102 cards acquired for our set from the Baseball Card Sports Memorabilia Show, affectionately known as The Philly Show, held in the basement of the Valley Forge Casino Resort in King of Prussia in early March.  We went nuts and left the show needing only 12 more cards to complete our 1965 Topps set, and I wrote about the show in detail over at The Phillies Room.  After our 51 card haul from Uncle Dick's, and with more card spending budget still in place, I set out to find another dealer with a binder of 1965 Topps cards with reasonable prices.  I had purchased cards from Sports Cards Plus before, finding the last few cards needed for our 1971 Topps set from this dealer back in December 2019.

Settling in, we found 37 commons, semi-stars and team cards needed for our set, including this DeBusschere card, with the average price per card working out to around $6 a piece.  After paying for this mini haul, we were officially 13 cards away from a complete set, with one more purchase coming to end the day.

The Card / White Sox Team Set
Topps managed to get DuBusschere into three baseball card sets, despite his limited time in the majors.  This is his final Topps flagship baseball card appearance, but he'd start appearing in Topps basketball sets beginning with their 1969-70 release.  The back of the card highlights his two-sport status and mentions he was serving as a player-coach for the Pistons.

1965 Season
DeBusschere spent the entire season pitching for the Indianapolis Indians, his final year of professional baseball.  As the team's most used starting pitcher, he was 15-12 with a 3.65 ERA in 34 starts, including ten complete games and a shutout.  He led the club in strikeouts (176) and innings pitched (244).  DeBusschere switched to basketball full-time after the International League season ended, turning down a September call-up by the White Sox.

#586 Tommy McCraw - Chicago White Sox

Tommy Lee McCraw
Chicago White Sox
First Base

Bats:  Left  Throws:  Left  Height:  6'0"  Weight:  183
Born:  November 21, 1940, Malvern, AR
Signed:  Signed by the Chicago White Sox as an amateur free agent before 1960 season
Major League Teams:  Chicago White Sox 1963-1970; Washington Senators 1971; Cleveland Indians 1972; California Angels 1973-1974; Cleveland Indians 1974-1975

Tommy McCraw played in parts of 13 seasons in the majors, finding his most success with the White Sox in the mid to late 1960s.  As a versatile left-handed bat, McCraw saw playing time as a first baseman, pinch-hitter and in all three outfield spots over his first few seasons in Chicago.  He assumed the team's regular first baseman job in 1967, following the departure of Bill Skowron (#70).  A solid defensive first baseman, McCraw would keep his position despite a low batting average and low power output.  He drove in a career-high 48 runs in 1966 and hit his career high in home runs with 11 in 1967.  McCraw would return to part-time player status in 1969 and he was dealt to the Senators before the 1971 season.  He'd play five more seasons, all in the American League, and taking advantage of the new designated hitter role.

McCraw batted .246 with 972 hits, 75 home runs and 404 RBIs in the majors.  Following his playing days, he'd begin a lengthy second career as a long-time hitting coach, serving on Frank Robinson's (#120) staff during Robinson's stint as a manager with four different franchises.  McCraw and Robinson had been teammates later in both players' careers with the Angels and Indians.  McCraw coached with the Indians (1975-1982), Giants (1983-1985), Orioles (1989-1991), Yankees (1992-1996), Astros (1997-2000) and Expos/Nationals (2002-2005).

March 6, 2022 from The Philly Show (Uncle Dick's Cards - Babylon, NY) - Card #544

This is the 60th of 102 cards acquired for our set from the Baseball Card Sports Memorabilia Show, affectionately known as The Philly Show, held in the basement of the Valley Forge Casino Resort in King of Prussia in early March.  We went nuts and left the show needing only 12 more cards to complete our 1965 Topps set, and I wrote about the show in detail over at The Phillies Room.  Having wandered aimlessly among the dealer tables looking for binders with vintage commons, I decided to check to see if Uncle Dick's had refreshed their inventory following the December show, during which I had wiped out both their 1965 Topps binders.  Much to my pleasant surprise, they had. 

This McCraw card was $6 and was one of 49 commons and semi-stars purchased in my triumphant return to Uncle Dick's and his replenished neon green binders.

Depending on my ability to compose five posts a week on the cards acquired at this show, I should be completely caught up on this blog by mid-October.  It's entirely feasible we complete our 1965 Topps set by the end of 2022, although nine of the remaining 12 cards needed are fairly expensive.

The Card / White Sox Team Set
McCraw wore #14 during his first few years with the White Sox, switching to #24 for the 1965 season.  You can see his #14 on his right jersey sleeve.  His speed is noted in the write-up on the back, and McCraw stole at least ten bases or more in eight different seasons, capped by a career-high 24 stolen bases in 1967.  His platoon with Skowron is also mentioned, but that wouldn't really go into effect until 1966.  In 1965, Skowron started 143 games at first base.  The following season, the platoon was evident with Skowron making 92 starts at first base to McCraw's 66.

1965 Season
McCraw appeared in 133 games for the White Sox, batting .238 with five home runs and 21 RBIs.  He made starts at four different positions, including 30 starts in left field, 14 starts at first base, 14 starts in center field and two starts in right field.

#516 Al Weis - Chicago White Sox

Albert John Weis
Chicago White Sox
Second Base

Bats:  Both  Throws:  Right  Height:  6'0"  Weight:  160
Born:  April 2, 1938, Franklin Square, NY
Signed:  Signed by the Chicago White Sox as an amateur free agent before 1959 season
Major League Teams:  Chicago White Sox 1962-1967; New York Mets 1968-1971

Al Weis was a successful middle infielder in the majors for ten seasons, starting his career with the White Sox and winning a World Series ring with the Mets in 1969.  Weis saw regular playing time at second base for the White Sox in 1964, taking over that position following the trade of Nellie Fox (#485) to the Colt .45s.  Weis appeared in a career-high 133 games, batting .247 with 22 stolen bases, the second most in the league behind Luis Aparicio (#410).  He returned to a bench role in 1965 and 1966, providing steady defense whenever Don Buford (#81) wasn't starting.  Weis hit a career low .155 in 1966 over 129 games.  The following year, his season was prematurely ended on June 27, 1967 when Frank Robinson (#120) broke his leg when sliding into second base to break up a double play.

Weis was traded to the Mets following the 1967 season, and he'd be used by manager Gil Hodges (#99) mostly as a late inning defensive replacement.  Before the Amazin' 1969 season, his most memorable moment with the club was allowing a ground ball to go through his legs in the 24th inning of his Mets debut on April 15, 1968.  The Astros won the contest 1-0 as a result of Weis' error.  Not known for having much power, Weis hit a solo home off Orioles pitcher Dave McNally (#249) in the bottom of the seventh inning during Game 5 of the 1969 World Series.  The home run tied the game 3-3, and the Mets would go on to win the game and the series.  Weis was a career .219 hitter over 800 big league games and he retired from baseball after being released by the Mets on July 1, 1971.

The Card / White Sox Team Set
This is a classic, archetypal baseball card - posed shot showing the player batting, blue skies in the background, some trees for good measure and the wonderful color combinations found throughout the 1965 Topps set.  I'm assuming the photo used for Weis' 1966 Topps card was taken during the same session.  The back of the card highlights his speed, defensive skills and switch-hitting abilities.  Weis gave up switch-hitting during the 1968 season, batting exclusively right-handed for the remainder of his career. He batted .206 over his career as a left-handed batter and .229 as a right-handed batter.

Weis' rookie card is one of the most expensive cards to be found in the 1963 Topps set.

1965 Season
Weis played in 103 games, making 34 starts at second base, two starts in center field and one start at shortstop.  He batted a career-high .296 (40 for 135) and his lone home run came on May 7th off the Twins' Dick Stigman (#548).

#480 Joel Horlen - Chicago White Sox

Joel Edward Horlen
Chicago White Sox
Pitcher

Bats:  Right  Throws:  Right  Height:  6'0"  Weight:  170
Born:  August 14, 1937, San Antonio, TX
Signed:  Signed by the Chicago White Sox as an amateur free agent before 1959 season
Major League Teams:  Chicago White Sox 1961-1971; Oakland Athletics 1972

Joel Horlen, known as Joe to his friends, had an impressive run with the White Sox through the entire decade of the 1960s during which he was one of the most underrated starting pitchers in the American League.  Horlen won at least 10 games in seven straight seasons between 1963 and 1969, and his 2.32 ERA between 1964 and 1968 led all American League pitchers.  His career year came in 1967 when he made the All-Star team, finished with a 19-7 record and led the league with a 2.06 ERA and six shutouts.  One of the those shutouts was a no-hitter thrown on September 10, 1967 against the pennant-contending Tigers.  Horlen finished second in the Cy Young voting behind Jim Lonborg (#573) and was fourth in the overall league MVP voting.

He pitched for four more seasons with the White Sox and signed with the Athletics in April 1972.  In his final season in the majors, Horlen was one of the more frequently used relievers out of the Oakland bullpen, pitching mainly in long relief, and his 84 innings pitched were second only to closer Rollie Fingers.  Horlen saw postseason action in 1972, and capped his career with a World Series ring when the Athletics downed the Reds in seven games.  In 361 career games, Horlen was 116-117 with a 3.11 ERA and 1,065 strikeouts.  He'd stay in baseball throughout the early 2000s as a minor league pitching coach within the Indians, Mets, Royals, Giants and Padres organizations.

December 4, 2021 from The Philly Show (Uncle Dick's Cards, Babylon, NY) - 

Card #455

You'll be seeing this particular passage on my 1965 Topps blog for quite some time as we added a whopping 97 cards to our set during the December Philadelphia Sports Collectors Show.  If I'm ambitious and compose posts for five cards a week, I should be completely caught up by the end of May.  If I'm not as ambitious, I might still be going through this stack by the time we hit July.  Either way, I'll enjoy the process and I'm looking forward to taking my time.  I've posted a complete summary of this fantastic show over at The Phillies Room.

After securing Doug's Jim Thome autograph, I returned to Uncle Dick's and their neon green shirts, pulled up a chair, and settled in.  Over the course of 45 minutes or so, I found 79 cards needed for our set, including this Horlen card which was a little less than $4 after the dealer discount.  I was surrounded by six or seven other seated collectors, all who looked similar to me, with a touch of gray, focused on their individual quests.  I wiped out Uncle Dick's two 1965 Topps commons binders, paid for my haul and then retreated to a table with Doug to update our checklist.

The Card / White Sox Team Set
Horlen first appeared in the set way back on card #7 with 1964 American League ERA leader Dean Chance (#140).  Oddly enough, the leaders card shows Horlen's 1964 ERA as 1.92, while this card contains the correct 1.88 number.  His nine complete games are highlighted in cartoon form on the back, and Topps also alludes to his poor run support from the White Sox offense, given his 13-9 record in 1964.

1965 Season
The White Sox were in a pennant race all season and Horlen was arguably the staff ace.  He started 34 games, tops on the team, and was 13-13 with a 2.88 ERA.  His 219 innings pitched led the pitching staff and Tommy John (#208) had one more strikeout than Horlen - 126 to 125.  He was a victim of poor run support throughout the season, with the White Sox scoring two runs or fewer in eight of his losses.

#458 John Buzhardt - Chicago White Sox

John William Buzhardt
Chicago White Sox
Pitcher

Bats:  Right  Throws:  Right  Height:  6'2"  Weight:  195
Born:  August 17, 1936, Prosperity, SC
Signed:  Signed by the Chicago Cubs as an amateur free agent, June 1, 1954
Major League Teams:  Chicago Cubs 1958-1959; Philadelphia Phillies 1960-1961; Chicago White Sox 1962-1967; Baltimore Orioles 1967; Houston Astros 1967-1968
Died:  June 15, 2008, Prosperity, SC (age 71)

John Buzhardt pitched in 11 different seasons, primarily with the White Sox as a starting pitcher.  Buzhardt came up with the Cubs in 1958, and on June 21, 1959 he pitched a 4-0 one-hitter against the Phillies, with Carl Sawatski spoiling the no-hit bid with a third inning single.  Buzhardt would join the Phillies pitching staff in 1960 and was an innings-eater for the second division team, throwing over 200 innings in two straight seasons.  In 1961, with the Phillies on their way to a 107-loss season, Buzhardt threw a complete game victory against the Giants on July 28th.  The Phillies would then go on to lose 23 games in a row, with the streak finally broken by another Buzhardt complete game victory on August 20th.

1950-1969 Phillies Photo Cards

He enjoyed his best years with the White Sox, winning ten games in 1964 and a career-high 13 games in 1965.  Joe Horlen (#480), Buzhardt and Tommy John (#208) were atop the White Sox starting pitching rotation for their second place finish in 1965.  Buzhardt shifted to the bullpen following the 1966 season and he'd finish his career with two years pitching for the White Sox, Orioles and Astros.  In 326 big league games, Buzhardt was 71-96 with a 3.66 ERA in 1,490 2/3 innings pitched.

The Card / White Sox Team Set
Topps was at a loss with what to highlight on the back of Buzhardt's card, opting to showcase his 18 wins while a member of the Class C Magic Valley Cowboys in 1956.

1965 Season
This was one of Buzhardt's best seasons, and he did well while pitching for a White Sox team in contention for the American League pennant all season.  In 32 games, including 30 starts, he was 13-8 with a 3.01 ERA and a career-high 108 strikeouts in 188 2/3 innings pitched.  One incident may have changed the course of his season though, after he had started with a record of 7-1.  On July 18th, manager Al Lopez (#414) pulled Buzhardt from a game in the eighth inning with the White Sox holding a slim 2-1 lead.  Buzhardt threw his glove into the stands on the way back to the dugout in anger, and he went 6-7 over the remainder of the season.

Phillies Career
Buzhardt's arrival to the Phillies marked the end of future Hall of Famer and fan favorite Richie Ashburn's playing days with the team.  On January 11, 1960, the Phillies traded Ashburn to the Cubs for Buzhardt, Al Dark and Jim Woods.  Buzhardt would be the team's second most used starting pitcher behind Robin Roberts (#15) in 1960, making 29 starts and earning a 5-16 record with a 3.86 ERA.  He was 6-18 the following season for an even worse Phillies team, pitching to a 4.49 ERA in 41 games, including 27 starts.  Only Art Mahaffey (#446) made more starts in 1961 for the Phillies with 32.  Despite his record, he was the team's stopper, counted on to stop losing streaks, including the 23-game streak mentioned above.  His Phillies career came to an end on November 28, 1961, when he was dealt with Charley Smith (#22) to the White Sox for first baseman Roy Sievers (#574).
