#35 Ed Charles - Kansas City Athletics

Edwin Douglas Charles
Kansas City Athletics
Third Base

Bats:  Right  Throws:  Right  Height:  5'10"  Weight:  170
Born:  April 29, 1933, Daytona Beach, FL
Signed:  Signed by the Boston Braves as an amateur free agent before 1952 season
Major League Teams:  Kansas City Athletics 1962-1967; New York Mets 1967-1969
Died:  March 15, 2018, East Elmhurst, NY (age 84)

Nicknamed "The Poet," Ed Charles spent nine seasons toiling in the Braves' farm system playing for teams located in the still segregated south and composing poetry dealing with baseball and racism.  The Braves had Eddie Mathews (#500) as their third baseman, blocking Charles, and he finally got a chance in the majors when the Braves traded him to the Athletics in December 1961.  Charles was the regular third baseman for Kansas City between 1962 and 1965, hitting his career high for home runs in 1962 with 17 and for RBIs in 1963 with 79.  He was named the third baseman on the Topps All-Star Rookie team for 1962.

In March 1967, Charles was traded to the Mets for Larry Elliot and cash.  In 1969, in his final season as a 36-year-old veteran, he split time at third base with Wayne Garrett and provided leadership to the young Miracle Mets team.  He hit the final home run of his career off the Cardinals' Steve Carlton (#477) on September 24th, helping the Mets clinch their first division title.  In the 1969 World Series, Charles appeared in four games, scoring the winning run in Game 2 on an Al Weis (#516) single.

For his career, Charles appeared in 1,005 games, batting .263 with 86 home runs and 421 RBIs.  In 2013, he was depicted in the movie 42, showing a young Charles waving to Jackie Robinson as Robinson departed Florida following spring training in 1946.  The movie dramatized the incident, but Charles did in fact watch Robinson train with the Montreal Royals at their spring training home in Daytona, inspiring him to pursue his baseball dream.

Building the Set
August 5, 2020 from Cincinnati, OH - Card #139
In early August, I hit an eBay slump and lost out on every single card I had placed a reasonable bid on from a dealer breaking up a 1965 Topps set.  It seems to me a lot of former and new collectors have returned or entered the hobby as an escape from the pandemic, and I'm noticing card prices for these 1965 Topps cards continuing to increase.  I had bid on several cards up for auction from this set break, all graded EX+ or NM, with my highest bids being around $2.50.  Every single card went for much more than that, with final winning bids ranging from $8.50 to $18.  Again, these were all commons and from the relatively prevalent first series of the set.

Surprised by the outcome of those auctions, I turned to the always reliable Dean's Cards and the easier approach of clicking Buy It Now on four cards from the first series I felt were reasonably priced, including this Charles card.

Adding this card to our set achieved a major milestone, as we've now completed our first 9-card page in our 1965 Topps set binder.

The Card / Athletics Team Set
The back of Charles' card has plenty of accolades for his minor league play, and it's a shame he didn't get a break in the majors until the Braves finally traded him.  The "big five man swap" as Topps calls it happened on December 15, 1961, with the Braves sending Charles, Joe Azcue (#514) and Manny Jimenez to the A's for Lou Klimchock (#542) and Bob Shaw (#428).

1965 Season
The 1965 Athletics lost 103 games, and Charles was arguably the team's MVP.  In 134 games, starting 127 games at third base, Charles hit .269 with 8 home runs and 56 RBIs.  He shared infield duties for the A's with Ken Harrelson (#479) at first, Dick Green (#168) at second and Bert Campaneris (#266) at shortstop.

#70 Bill Skowron - Chicago White Sox

William Joseph Skowron
Chicago White Sox
First Base

Bats:  Right  Throws:  Right  Height:  5'11"  Weight:  195
Born:  December 18, 1930, Chicago, IL
Signed:  Signed by the New York Yankees as an amateur free agent before 1950 season
Major League Teams:  New York Yankees 1954-1962; Los Angeles Dodgers 1963; Washington Senators 1964; Chicago White Sox 1964-1967; California Angels 1967
Died:  April 27, 2012, Arlington Heights, IL (age 81)

The starting first baseman for the powerhouse Yankees teams of the late '50s and early '60s, Bill "Moose" Skowron enjoyed a 14-year career and tallied 211 home runs for the Yankees, Dodgers, Senators, White Sox and Angels.  He went to the All-Star Game in six different years, including five straight appearances with the Yankees between 1957 and 1961.

He appeared in eight World Series, winning four rings with the Yankees (1956, 1958, 1961 and 1962) and one ring with the Dodgers (1963) against the Yankee team that had traded him away.  In total, Skowron played in 39 World Series games, hitting .293 (39 for 133) with eight home runs and 29 RBIs.  Although he had struggled during the 1963 regular season, his first and only with the Dodgers, he came alive in the World Series against his former Yankees team, hitting .385 in the four-game sweep.  He found late career success with the White Sox, earning his final All-Star nod in 1965.

Skowron retired following the 1967 season, remaining active in his communities and frequently appearing at baseball card shows to sign autographs.

August 5, 2020 from Cincinnati, OH - Card #138
In early August, I hit an eBay slump and lost out on every single card I had placed a reasonable bid on from a dealer breaking up a 1965 Topps set.  It seems to me a lot of former and new collectors have returned or entered the hobby as an escape from the pandemic, and I'm noticing card prices for these 1965 Topps cards continuing to increase.  I had bid on several cards up for auction from this set break, all graded EX+ or NM, with my highest bids being around $2.50.  Every single card went for much more than that, with final winning bids ranging from $8.50 to $18.  Again, these were all commons and from the relatively prevalent first series of the set.

Surprised by the outcome of those auctions, I turned to the always reliable Dean's Cards and the easier approach of clicking Buy It Now on four cards from the first series I felt were reasonably priced.  This Skowron card was mine for $8.75.

The Card / White Sox Team Set
Skowron is wearing a Senators jersey here, and the picture was taken at the same time as the photo used for his 1964 Topps and 1964 Topps Giants cards.  Topps would get an updated shot of Skowron in an actual White Sox uniform for his 1966 Topps card.  On the back, Topps highlights his World Series grand slam and that blast came during the decisive Game 7 of the 1956 World Series off the Dodgers' Roger Craig (#411).  Those were the last runs scored in that World Series, with the Yankees eventually winning, 9-0.  Curious as to who had hit the other nine World Series grand slams up to that point, and how many more there had been since then, I looked up the list:

World Series Grand Slams, up to 1964 (10):  Elmer Smith 1920, Tony Lazzeri 1936, Gil McDougald 1951, Mickey Mantle (#350) 1953, Yogi Berra (#470) 1956, Skowron (1956), Bobby Richardson (#115) 1960, Chuck Hiller (#531) 1962, Ken Boyer (#100) 1964, Joe Pepitone (#245) 1964.
World Series Grand Slams, since 1964 (8):  Jim Northrup (#259) 1968, Dave McNally (#249) 1970, Dan Gladden 1987, Kent Hrbek 1987, Jose Canseco 1988, Lonnie Smith 1992, Tino Martinez 1998, Paul Konerko 2005, Addison Russell 2016.

Kudos to Topps for updating the back of Skowron's card to count the two grand slams hit recently in the 1964 World Series.  Skowron, at card #5, 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
Skowron came to the White Sox on July 13, 1964 with Carl Bouldin, with Joe Cunningham (#496) and Frank Kreutzer (#371) going to the Senators.  In his first full season in Chicago, Skowron was one of two players selected for the All-Star Game from the White Sox, along with pitcher Eddie Fisher (#328).  It was to be Skowron's eighth and final trip to the mid-summer classic.  As the regular first baseman for the White Sox, he appeared in 146 games and hit .274 with 18 home runs and 78 RBIs.  His RBI total led the team while he tied for the team lead in home runs with John Romano (#17).

#9 1964 A.L. Pitching Leaders - Chance, Peters, Bunker, Pizarro & Wickersham

August 5, 2020 from Cincinnati, OH - Card #137
In early August, I hit an eBay slump and lost out on every single card I had placed a reasonable bid on from a dealer breaking up a 1965 Topps set.  It seems to me a lot of former and new collectors have returned or entered the hobby as an escape from the pandemic, and I'm noticing card prices for these 1965 Topps cards continuing to increase.  I had bid on several cards up for auction from this set break, all graded EX+ or NM, with my highest bids being around $2.50.  Every single card went for much more than that, with final winning bids ranging from $8.50 to $18.  Again, these were all commons and from the relatively prevalent first series of the set.

Surprised by the outcome of those auctions, I turned to the always reliable Dean's Cards and the easier approach of clicking Buy It Now on four cards from the first series I felt were reasonably priced.  This League Leaders card was the second most expensive card I added, having spent $20 on the Frank Howard (#40) card.  I'll feature the last two cards added from this mini shopping trip in upcoming posts.

The Card
I asked this question already with the N.L. Pitching Leaders card, but I've always wondered why Topps labelled these cards "Pitching Leaders" and not "Victory Leaders" since they were showcasing the pitchers with the most wins?

Dean Chance (#140) and Gary Peters (#430) were the American League's only two 20-game winners in 1964.  Chance would win 20 games again in 1967 for the Twins, while Peters would never again reach that plateau.  Wally Bunker (#290), Juan Pizarro (#125) and Dave Wickersham (#375) earned smaller head spaces on the bottom row of the card with 19 wins each.  Of those three pitchers and throughout the rest of their careers, only Bunker would win more than 10 games again as he went 12-11 for the Royals in 1969.

As they had done on his base card, Topps misspelled Jim Kaat's (#62) name on the back of this leaders card too.  Kaat had 17 wins in 1964.

#40 Frank Howard - Los Angeles Dodgers

Frank Oliver Howard
Los Angeles Dodgers
Outfield

Bats:  Right  Throws:  Right  Height:  6'7"  Weight:  255
Born:  August 8, 1936, Columbus, OH
Signed:  Signed by the Los Angeles Dodgers as an amateur free agent, March 5, 1958
Major League Teams:  Los Angeles Dodgers 1958-1964; Washington Senators 1965-1971; Texas Rangers 1972; Detroit Tigers 1972-1973
As a Manager:  San Diego Padres 1981; New York Mets 1983

A prolific power threat throughout his 16-year big league career, Frank Howard was the 1960 N.L. Rookie of the Year, a World Champion with the Dodgers in 1963 and a four-time All-Star with the Senators in the late 1960s/early 1970s.  As the regular right fielder for the Dodgers in the early 1960s, Howard had one of his best seasons in 1963, leading the eventual World Champions in home runs with 28 while hitting .263.  He hit .300 in that World Series, with a key home run off Whitey Ford (#330) in Game 4.

Traded to the Senators in December 1964 as part of a seven-player trade, Howard's power numbers improved and he hit a career high 44 home runs in both 1968 and 1970, leading the A.L. both times.  His career-high 126 RBIs in 1970 also led the league.  He followed the Senators to Texas when they became the Rangers, and upon his retirement he held almost every offensive record for the Senators/Rangers franchise which have since all been surpassed by Jim Sundberg, Toby Harrah or Juan Gonzalez.  Upon his retirement, his 382 career home runs were 8th most in MLB history among all right-handed batters.  In 1,895 games, Howard hit .273 with 1,119 RBIs, and after playing part-time with the Tigers in 1973 at the age of 36, he still wasn't ready to retire.

Howard signed in Japan to play for the Taiheiyo Club Lions in 1974, but a mighty swing in his very first at-bat hurt his back and he'd never play again.  Howard served as a coach for the Brewers (1977-1980), Mets (1982-1983), Brewers again (1985-1986), Mets again (1994-1996), Mariners (1987-1988), Yankees (1989, 1991-1993) and Devil Rays (1998-1999).  He briefly managed the Padres (1981) and Mets (1983), compiling a record of 93-133 over two seasons.  Still extremely popular in the Washington, D.C. area, Howard was one of the prominent former players to take part in a pre-game ceremony prior to the first ever Nationals game in 2005.

August 5, 2020 from Cincinnati, OH - Card #136

Surprised by the outcome of those auctions, I turned to the always reliable Dean's Cards and the easier approach of clicking Buy It Now on four cards from the first series I felt were reasonably priced.  This Howard card was the most expensive at $20, but I'm happy to add this nearly pristine 55-year-old card to our set.

The Card / Dodgers Team Set
I'm fascinated whenever a player gets traded in the offseason and Topps makes the effort to disclose the trade on a card released shortly after the fact.  The single sentence on the back of his card alerts the collector that Howard was no longer with the Dodgers.  I actually prefer this old school approach and if this were a 2020 Topps card, Howard would have presumably been photoshopped into his new Senators uniform.

I'm used to seeing Howard pictured wearing glasses, and this is his first Topps flagship set appearance in which he's sporting spectacles.  That's his #25 partially visible in the photo as well.  This card was reprinted (albeit with a 1975 Topps style back) for the 2016 Topps Archives 65th Anniversary Edition set.

1965 Season
In his first season with the Senators, Howard moved over to left field and won the team's triple crown with his .289 average, 21 home runs and 84 RBIs.  He fell a few strikeouts short of leading the team in that category as well, as he had 112 strikeouts to Don Lock's (#445) 115.  He battled injuries throughout the year, but still appeared in 149 games for his new manager and former teammate Gil Hodges (#99).

#50 Juan Marichal - San Francisco Giants

Juan Antonio Marichal
San Francisco Giants
Pitcher

Bats:  Right  Throws:  Right  Height:  6'0"  Weight:  185
Born:  October 20, 1937, Laguna Verde, Dominican Republic
Signed:  Signed by the New York Giants as an amateur free agent before 1957 season
Major League Teams:  San Francisco Giants 1960-1973; Boston Red Sox 1974; Los Angeles Dodgers 1975
Hall of Fame Induction:  1983

Juan Marichal won more games than any other Major League pitcher in the 1960s, dominating the league with a high leg kick and pinpoint control.  A mainstay in the Giants' pitching rotation, Marichal was a 20-game winner in six seasons, and a 25-game winner in three seasons.  He threw a no-hitter against the Colt .45s on June 15, 1963, and a few weeks later on July 2nd he matched up against the Braves and Warren Spahn (#205), pitching a complete game, 16-inning shutout.  He topped the league with shutouts in 1965 with 10 and had the best ERA in the league at 2.10 in 1969.  Marichal never won a Cy Young Award and was frequently overshadowed by his contemporaries Sandy Koufax (#300) and Bob Gibson (#320).

Reaching the postseason only twice (in 1962 and 1971), Marichal used the All-Star Game as his national stage.  In eight All-Star games, Marichal went 2-0 pitching 18 innings while striking out 12 and pitching to an ERA of 0.50.  He won All-Star Game MVP honors in 1965, pitching three shutout innings.  Marichal's many pitching accomplishments are somewhat overshadowed by an incident that took place on August 22, 1965.  At bat against Koufax and the rival Dodgers, Marichal incited a 14-minute brawl that started when he hit Dodgers' catcher John Roseboro (#405) over the head with his bat.  Roseboro and Marichal would reconcile in later years, making public appearances together.

Marichal's career numbers are staggering - 243-142, 2.89 ERA, 244 complete games and 52 shutouts, and 2,303 strikeouts.  The Giants' retired Marichal's #27 in 1975 and he was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1983, his third year on the ballot.  He became the first Dominican born player enshrined in the Hall, paving the way for his fellow countrymen Pedro Martinez in 2015 and Vladimir Guerrero in 2018.

July 20, 2020 from Scottsdale, AZ - Card #135
I continued to be fairly active with my eBay purchases in July, as we prepared for the abbreviated 60-game baseball season to start.  Having been somewhat haphazard in my eBay hunts up until this point, I decided to focus and specifically try to complete the first series of our 1965 Topps set.  I added 10 cards to our set from the first series (cards #1 through #88) from Scottsdale Baseball Cards, and the envelope with our new cards arrived on July 20th.  As of this writing, we need 39 of the 88 cards from the first series so we're more than half-way there.  The priciest card still needed is the A.L. Home Run Leaders card (#5) featuring Mickey Mantle.

This Marichal card entered our collection for $15, the most expensive card purchased from Scottsdale Baseball Cards, but at what I felt was a fair price.

The Card / Giants Team Set
This is yet another iconic Giants card from this set, as I can remember seeing this card behind glass cases for as long as I've attended baseball card shows.  On the back, Topps features Marichal's no-hitter thrown in 1963 and highlights his league-leading 22 complete games from 1964.

Topps reprinted this card as part of its 2010 Topps Cards Your Mom Threw Out insert set.  Marichal is in the harder to find 1965 Topps Transfers insert set, but he's not in the 1965 Topps Embossed insert set.

1965 Season
Following the Roseboro Incident, Marichal was suspended for eight games, fined a then record amount of $1,750 and was forbidden from traveling to Los Angeles for the final series of the season.  When the season was over, the Giants had finished in second place behind the Dodgers, with Marichal leading the team with 22 wins.  His 22-13 record came with a low ERA of 2.13, along with 24 complete games and 240 strikeouts.  His 10 shutouts led the league.

#46 Bob Lee - Los Angeles Angels

Robert Dean Lee
Los Angeles Angels
Pitcher

Bats:  Right  Throws:  Right  Height:  6'3"  Weight:  225
Born:  November 26, 1937, Ottumwa, IA
Signed:  Signed by the Pittsburgh Pirates as an amateur free agent before 1956 season
Major League Teams:  Los Angeles Angels 1964; California Angels 1965-1966; Los Angeles Dodgers 1967; Cincinnati Reds 1967-1968
Died:  March 25, 2020, Lake Havasu City, AZ (age 82)

An All-Star with the Angels in 1965, Bob Lee was one of the team's top relievers for the span of three seasons between 1964 and 1966.  It had taken him a while to arrive in the Major Leagues, as he pitched for eight seasons, between 1956 and 1963, within the Pirates' organization.  He appeared in at least 60 games in each of his first three seasons with the Angels, compiling an incredibly impressive 1.99 ERA with 58 saves for the club.  His marks earned him top 10 finishes in the American League during those three seasons in appearances, games finished and saves.  Lee set a record with a 21-inning scoreless streak between 1964 and 1965 that wasn't broken until 2013 when Jered Weaver surpassed the mark.

Lee wouldn't match his three-year success with the Angels following his trade to the Dodgers for Nick Willhite (#284) on December 15, 1966.  Over his last two seasons in the majors with the Dodgers and Reds, Lee appeared in 75 games with a 4.87 ERA and only six saves.

July 20, 2020 from Scottsdale, AZ - Card #134
I continued to be fairly active with my eBay purchases in July, as we prepared for the abbreviated 60-game baseball season to start.  Having been somewhat haphazard in my eBay hunts up until this point, I decided to focus and specifically try to complete the first series of our 1965 Topps set.  I added 10 cards to our set from the first series (cards #1 through #88) from Scottsdale Baseball Cards, and the envelope with our new cards arrived on July 20th.  As of this writing, we need 39 of the 88 cards from the first series so we're more than half-way there.  The priciest card still needed is the A.L. Home Run Leaders card (#5) featuring Mickey Mantle.  This Lee card entered our collection for $2.

I'm composing this post on the day it was announced the September Philly Show would be officially cancelled due to the ongoing pandemic.  With the next major baseball card show in our area not until December (at least) it seems as if I'll be heading back to eBay as we continue to slowly build this set. I'd like to see if we can complete the entire first series and make a nice dent in the second series before the end of 2020.  A minor accomplishment in a year I'm going to prefer to forget.

The Card / Angels Team Set
 This is Lee's first solo Topps card appearance, having shared a Rookie Stars card in the 1964 Topps set with Bobby Knoop (#26).  Flipping to the back, the write-up isn't accurate as Lee recorded 19 saves in 1964, not 17.  It wouldn't have been hard to set the Angels' franchise record at the point, as the team had come into existence in 1961.  Art Fowler saved 11 games for the club in their inaugural season, Tom Morgan saved 9 games in 1963 and then Lee broke Fowler's club record in 1964.

Francisco Rodriguez currently holds the Angels franchise record with a whopping 62 saves in 2008.

1965 Season
Lee was arguable the Angels' most valuable pitcher, appearing in 69 games, converting 23 saves and finishing the year with a 9-7 record and a 1.92 ERA.  His 131 1/3 innings pitched were tops among all Angels relievers, as manager Bill Rigney (#66) didn't hesitate to use him often.  Lee was the sole Angels representative at the All-Star Game in Minnesota, but he didn't get into the game.

Phillies Connection
The Phillies and Angels shared a Triple-A team in the American Association in 1962, the Dallas-Fort Worth Rangers.  Lee pitched in 54 games for the Rangers that season, playing alongside future Angels teammate Jim Fregosi (#210) and future Phillies Pat Corrales (#107) and Cookie Rojas (#474).
