#580 Jimmie Hall - Minnesota Twins

Jimmie Randolph Hall
Minnesota Twins
Outfield

Bats:  Left  Throws:  Right  Height:  6'0"  Weight:  175
Born:  March 7, 1938, Mount Holly, NC
Signed:  Signed by the Washington Senators as an amateur free agent, June 21, 1956
Major League Teams:  Minnesota Twins 1963-1966; California Angels 1967-1968; Cleveland Indians 1968-1969; New York Yankees 1969; Chicago Cubs 1969-1970; Atlanta Braves 1970

Jimmie Hall played in parts of eight major league seasons, finding his most success early as the starting center fielder and two-time All-Star for the Twins.  Given the chance to start in center field in 1963 when regular Lenny Green (#588) was injured, Hall enjoyed a career year, batting .260 with 33 home runs and 80 RBIs, finishing third in the league's Rookie of the Year voting.  He'd follow that with another big season in 1964, batting .282 with 25 home runs and 75 RBIs and going to his first All-Star Game.  In the Twins' pennant-winning season of 1965, Hall went to his second All-Star Game and finished the season batting .285 with 25 doubles, 20 home runs and 86 RBIs.  He struggled in the World Series, batting just .143 (1 for 7) as the Twins fell to the Dodgers in seven games.

His production fell off steadily following that season.  After three fantastic seasons, Hall was relegated to a platoon and back-up role beginning in 1966, and he'd fill that role for five more seasons in the majors with the Angels, Indians, Yankees, Cubs and Braves.  Hall played in 963 major league games, collecting 724 hits, 100 doubles, 121 home runs, 391 RBIs and batting .254.

March 6, 2022 from The Philly Show (Uncle Dick's Cards - Babylon, NY) - Card #541

This is the 57th 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 Hall 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 / Twins Team Set
The cartoon on the back highlights Hall's All-Star Game appearance in 1964, and he'd go back to the Mid-Summer Classic in 1965.  Also referenced is Hall's record breaking 33 home runs in 1963, which broke the rookie record held by Ted Williams.  The record has since been broken by Mark McGwire, who hit 49 in 1987, Aaron Judge, who hit 52 in 2017 and Pete Alonso, who hit 53 in 2019.

1965 Season
Hall was the Twins' opening day center fielder, and he'd start 129 games overall at that position.  He had another productive year at the plate, earning a career-high average of .285 and reaching at least 20 doubles and 20 home runs for the third season in a row.  Hall was named to his second All-Star team, walking and scoring a run in the fifth inning when Dick McAuliffe (#53) homered.  He made only two starts in the World Series, as he struggled against left-handed pitching and the Dodgers had Sandy Koufax (#300) and Claude Osteen (#570) on their staff.  Joe Nossek (#597) got the starts in center instead of Hall when either Koufax or Osteen was on the mound, with Nossek batting just .200 (4 for 20) in the Series.

#579 Dick Smith - Los Angeles Dodgers

Richard Arthur Smith
Los Angeles Dodgers
Outfield-First Base

Bats:  Right  Throws:  Right  Height:  6'2"  Weight:  205
Born:  May 17, 1939, Lebanon, OR
Signed:  Signed by the Brooklyn Dodgers as an amateur free agent before 1957 season
Major League Teams:  New York Mets 1963-1964; Los Angeles Dodgers 1965
Died:  February 19, 2012, Medford, OR (age 72)

Dick Smith played professionally for 12 seasons, earning time in the majors in three different seasons with the Mets and Dodgers.  Originally signed by Brooklyn, he played in the Dodgers' minor league system for six seasons between 1957 and 1962 before being sold to the relatively new Mets club in October 1962.  He'd appear in 66 games for the Mets in 1963 and 1964, making 29 starts, and serving mainly as a pinch-hitter, pinch-runner or defensive replacement.  A member of the Mets' opening day roster in 1964, he was a utility player for the club until being demoted back to the minors that June.  Following the season, the Dodgers, his original team, acquired him back, trading pitcher Larry Miller (#349) to the Mets.  Smith made the Dodgers' opening day roster in 1965, but appeared in only 10 games before he was once again sent to the minors.

Smith spent three more seasons playing in the minor league systems of the Dodgers, Twins and Senators before calling it a career.  In 76 major league games, Smith batted .218 (31 for 142) with six doubles, a pair of triples and seven RBIs.

This is the 56th 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.  

1964 Topps #398

This Smith 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 / Dodgers Team Set
It's impressive Smith received a card in the set with the Dodgers, given he had been acquired from the Mets in October and spent just 10 games with the team before being optioned to the minors.  The back of the card notes his demotion in May.  He appeared on a Mets Rookie Stars card in the 1964 Topps set with Bill Haas, and this card represents his final mainstream baseball card appearance.

I think Topps used the wrong cartoon on the back of the card?  Smith did in fact make 17 pitching appearances in 1957 and 1958, but I have no idea what the cartoon featured has to do with pitching.

1965 Season
On the Dodgers' opening day roster, Smith started the second game of the season in center field and went 0 for 3 with an RBI, a strikeout and a sacrifice.  He'd appear in eight more games for the Dodgers, never starting, and was sent down to the Triple-A Spokane Indians in early May.  With Spokane, Smith appeared in 115 games, batting .233 with three home runs and 28 RBIs.

#576 Terry Fox - Detroit Tigers

Terrence Edward Fox
Detroit Tigers
Pitcher

Bats:  Right  Throws:  Right  Height:  6'0"  Weight:  175
Born:  July 31, 1935, Chicago, IL
Acquired:  Sent from New Iberia (Evangeline) to the Milwaukee Braves in an unknown transaction, September 23, 1955
Major League Teams:  Milwaukee Braves 1960; Detroit Tigers 1961-1966; Philadelphia Phillies 1966

Terry Fox appeared in 248 big league games over parts of seven seasons, all in relief.  After a brief stint with the Braves in 1960, he joined the Tigers bullpen in 1961 where he'd be a mainstay through the 1965 season.  He was one of the most reliable late-inning relievers in 1961 and 1962 when he posted ERAs of 1.41 and 1.71 while saving 12 and 16 games respectively.  Fox appeared in a career high 46 games in 1963, pitching in also a career high 80 1/3 innings.  He was the most frequently used reliever by the Tigers between 1961 and 1966, appearing in 206 games and recording 55 saves.  He struggled at the start of the 1966 season and the Tigers sold him to the Phillies where he'd pitch in his final 36 major league games.  Fox spent all of 1967 with the Phillies' top farm team in San Diego, retiring from the game following the season.

In 248 total games, Fox was 29-19 with a 2.99 ERA and 59 saves.  He struck out 185 batters over 397 innings pitched.

March 6, 2022 from The Philly Show (Uncle Dick's Cards - Babylon, NY) - Card #539

This is the 55th 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 Fox 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 / Tigers Team Set
The back of the card highlights his 21-win season with the New Iberia Pelicans in 1955, before he had been converted to a full-time reliever.  The first line of the write-up on the back, "When his pitcher's arm is sound," makes me think Fox was frequently injured during his career.  The narrative goes on to highlight his success out of the Tigers' bullpen including his 38 saves to date.

1965 Season
This was Fox's last full season in Detroit, and he seemed to share closer's duties with several other pitchers.  While he still led the Tigers bullpen with 10 saves, Larry Sherry (#408) and Fred Gladding (#37) both recorded five saves while Orlando Pena (#311) recorded four saves.  Fox was 6-4 overall with a 2.78 ERA in 42 relief appearances.

Phillies Career
Sold to the Phillies on May 10, 1966, Fox bolstered a bullpen consisting of Darold Knowles (#577), Ray Culp (#505) and veteran Ray Herbert (#399).  He'd appear in 36 games, going 3-2 with a 4.47 ERA and four saves.  Fox would return with the Phillies in spring training in 1967, appearing in the official team photo in the 1967 Phillies Yearbook, but he wouldn't travel north with the team.  Assigned to the San Diego Padres, then the Phillies' top farm team, Fox appeared in just 28 games, going 3-0 with a 5.23 ERA in 43 innings pitched.  That was to be his last action in professional baseball.  He appears in the 1967 Topps set with the Phillies.

#570 Claude Osteen - Los Angeles Dodgers

Claude Wilson Osteen
Los Angeles Dodgers
Pitcher

Bats:  Left  Throws:  Left  Height:  5'11"  Weight:  160
Born:  August 9, 1939, Caney Springs, TN
Signed:  Signed by the Cincinnati Redlegs as an amateur free agent, July 2, 1957
Major League Teams:  Cincinnati Reds 1957, 1959-1961; Washington Senators 1961-1964; Los Angeles Dodgers 1965-1973; Houston Astros 1974; St. Louis Cardinals 1974; Chicago White Sox 1975

Lefty pitcher Claude Osteen made his big league debut in July 1957, a month shy of his 18th birthday, and he'd pitch sparingly for the Reds over the next three-plus seasons.  Dealt to the Senators in September 1961, he was inserted into the team's starting pitching rotation, enjoying moderate success in his four seasons in Washington.  Osteen turned in the first of ten consecutive double digit win seasons in 1964, when he was a 15-game winner.  He developed into an All-Star following his trade to the Dodgers in December 1964 as part of a blockbuster seven-player trade.  Osteen started two games of the 1965 World Series, pitching to a 0.64 ERA in 14 innings and recording a complete game shutout in Game 3.  The Dodgers would down the Twins in seven games.  He'd help pitch the Dodgers back to the World Series in 1966, but the Orioles would sweep his club.

1985 Tastykake Phillies #3

Osteen was an All-Star in 1967, 1970 and 1973 and a 20-game winner in 1969 and 1972.  Osteen's best season came in 1969 when he was 20-15 with a 2.66 ERA, striking out 183 over 321 innings pitched.  He threw 16 complete games that season, including seven shutouts.  Osteen would pitch through the 1975 season before retiring as a player and beginning his second career as a pitching coach.  In 541 games, Osteen was 196-195 with a 3.30 ERA and 1,612 strikeouts with his 40 career shutouts currently 44th on the all-time list.  Osteen would coach in the majors with the Cardinals (1977-1980), Phillies (1982-1988), Rangers (1993) and Dodgers (1999-2000).

This Osteen card was $8 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 / Dodgers Team Set
Osteen is hatless and wearing a Senators jersey here.  Dealt with John Kennedy (#119) to the Dodgers on December 4, 1964, Topps was able to reflect both players on their new team.  The back of the card cleverly depicts the big trade in cartoon form and includes all of Osteen's already lengthy minor and major league statistics.

1965 Season
Osteen joined an already dominant Dodgers' starting pitching rotation along with Don Drysdale (#260), Sandy Koufax (#300) and Johnny Podres (#387).  Koufax, Drysdale and Osteen each made at least 40 starts, with Osteen going 15-15 with a 2.79 ERA in 287 innings pitched.  He struck out 162, which was third on the team behind the two future Hall of Famers.  A good fielding pitcher, Osteen led the league with 82 assists, one of four times he'd top all pitchers in that category.  Along with his complete game shutout in Game 3 of the World Series, he also started Game 6, taking the loss after allowing a pair of runs (only one earned) in five innings of work.

Phillies Career
Pat Corrales (#107) was named the new Phillies manager on November 4, 1981, succeeding Dallas Green (#203), and Corrales named Osteen his pitching coach a month later.  Osteen had started his coaching career in 1976 spending one season with the Double-A Reading Phillies.  As the pitching coach for the Phillies, he saw three pitchers win Cy Young Awards - Steve Carlton (#477) in 1982, John Denny in 1983 and Steve Bedrosian in 1987.  Osteen outlasted Corrales, who was let go during the 1983 season, and he served as the pitching coach for Phillies teams managed by Paul Owens, John Felske and Lee Elia.  Osteen left the Phillies following the 1988 season with Darold Knowles (#577) succeeding him as part of the new Nick Leyva regime.

Ronald Wesley Taylor
St. Louis Cardinals
Pitcher

Bats:  Right  Throws:  Right  Height:  6'1"  Weight:  195
Born:  December 13, 1937, Toronto, Canada
Signed:  Signed by the Cleveland Indians as an amateur free agent before 1956 season
Major League Teams:  Cleveland Indians 1962; St. Louis Cardinals 1963-1965; Houston Astros 1965-1966; New York Mets 1967-1971; San Diego Padres 1972

As one of the more effective relievers in the game throughout the 1960s and early 1970s, Ron Taylor enjoyed an 11-year big league career, winning World Series rings with the Cardinals in 1964 and with the Mets in 1969.  As a key member of the Cardinals' bullpen in 1964, Taylor appeared in 63 games through the regular season recording eight saves with a 4.62 ERA.  He pitched 4 2/3 scoreless innings in the World Series against the Yankees, recording a save in Game 4.  After a few off years in Houston, Taylor joined the Mets and appeared in at least 50 games in four straight seasons between 1967 and 1970.  He led the club in saves for three straight seasons, recording a career high 14 saves in 1968.  He made 59 regular season appearances for the Amazin' Mets in 1969, going 9-4 with a 2.72 ERA and 13 saves.  Taylor threw 2 1/3 scoreless innings against the Orioles in the World Series, saving Game 2, with the Mets winning in five games.

Taylor would pitch for a few more seasons, last appearing with the Padres in May 1972.  He compiled a 45-43 lifetime record in 491 games pitched, throwing exactly 800 innings and recording 74 saves.  Taylor earned his medical degree following his retirement as a player, and he'd serve as the team physician for the Blue Jays for three decades, including the team's World Series Championship seasons of 1992 and 1993.  Taylor was inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in 1985, and Canada's Sports Hall of Fame in 1993.

The Card / Cardinals Team Set
Taylor is sporting the warm-up jacket under the jersey look here, which was a popular fashion statement at the time.  The cartoon highlight on the back is for the save he "chalked up" in the 1964 World Series.  No other Cardinals' reliever was close to Taylor's 63 appearances in 1964.  Coming in a distant second and third place in that category were Bob Humphreys (#154) with 28 relief appearances and Barney Schultz (#28) with 30.  Taylor lost both of his starts, going 6 2/3 innings agains the Colt .45s on August 8th and four innings against the Braves on September 16th.

1965 Season
Taylor and his Cardinals team struggled to start the 1965 season following their World Series victory.  He appeared in 25 games for the Cardinals, going 2-1 with a 4.53 ERA and just one save.  With the team in seventh place, Taylor and Mike Cuellar (#337) were traded to the Astros for Chuck Taylor and Hal Woodeshick (#179).  His struggles continued in Houston, as his ERA ballooned to 6.40 in 32 appearances.  For the season, Taylor was 3-6 with a 5.60 ERA in 57 games pitched, recording five saves.

#565 Ernie Broglio - Chicago Cubs

Ernest Gilbert Broglio
Chicago Cubs
Pitcher

Bats:  Right  Throws:  Right  Height:  6'2"  Weight:  200
Born:  August 27, 1935, Berkeley, CA
Acquired:  Sent from Oakland (PCL) to the Cincinnati Reds in an unknown transaction, July 1954
Major League Teams:  St. Louis Cardinals 1959-1964; Chicago Cubs 1964-1966
Died:  July 16, 2019, San Jose, CA (age 83)

Ernie Broglio pitched in parts of eight big league seasons, enjoying a career year in 1960 when he was 21-9 with a 2.74 ERA for the Cardinals.  He finished third in the league's Cy Young voting that year, behind winner Vern Law (#515) and Warren Spahn (#205), and his ERA was second in the league behind the Giants' Mike McCormick (#343).  Broglio continued his success as a steady starting pitcher for the Cardinals, going 12-9 in 1962 with a 3.00 ERA, and compiling an 18-8 record in 1963 while throwing a career high 250 innings.  On June 15, 1964, Broglio was the centerpiece of a trade with the Cubs, sending future Hall of Famer Lou Brock (#540) to St. Louis.  At the time, it was considered a fantastic trade for the Cubs given Broglio's recent pitching success.  However, the pitcher soon developed elbow problems and he'd appear sparingly for the Cubs over parts of three seasons.  The Broglio-Brock trade is now widely regarded as one of the most lopsided deals in the history of the game.

Broglio attempted a comeback with the Reds' top farm team in Buffalo in 1967, but after not earning a promotion back to majors he called it a career.  In 259 career games pitched, Broglio was 77-74 with a 3.74 ERA and 849 strikeouts over 1,337 1/3 innings pitched.  With the Cubs, who traded away the future all-time stolen base leader to get him, Broglio pitched in just 59 games and was 7-19 with a 5.40 ERA.

1965 Season
Recovering from offseason elbow surgery, Broglio struggled mightily in his first full season with the Cubs, appearing in 26 games but making only six starts.  Overall he was 1-6 with a 6.93 ERA in 50 2/3 innings pitched.
