1965 topps baseball 1965 topps baseball yes i have too many blogs but at this point what s one more this is my 2nd favorite set from the 1960s after the 1967 set i m currently at 40 and counting 17 oct 2015 saturday january 9 2021 1965 was a very good year but the time has come to retire this blog several things contributed to this decision 1 i was down to my last 4 cards to post here frank thomas steve boros tom butters birdie tebbetts so was going to close it down soon anyway but decided to end it early because of 2 and 3 below 2 the new blogger format is a pain in the butt to deal with the constant hassle with paragraph vs normal layouts photos not appearing where you expect them even commenting on other blogs is sketchy if i don t immediately sign out after posting a comment my next navigation sends a duplicate comment to the blog 3 i don t have as much time to blog as i used to for these and other reasons blogging has started to become a chore a long time ago i set goals on which cards i wanted to blog for each set i have come to that point on some of my blogs and am near it on all others except 1969 i intended to push through to the end but that is feeling like a self imposed chore now this is the 3rd blog i ve retired today others will follow sooner or later i have also enabled comment moderation on all my blogs this was done not to suppress legitimate comments but to prevent the blogs from being overrun by spam comments since i will not be reading them as often as i do now one only needs to look at the comments section of just about any post on this blog to see what happens when the blog owner doesn t keep up with the spammers posted by jim from downingtown at 11 12 pm no comments labels blog signoff sunday october 11 2020 final card ed rakow i posted ed rakow s 1963 card on another blog some years ago but that was before i acquired his final card in the 1965 set 454 rakow had a relatively short career the record shows he pitched from 1960 to 1967 but he missed 1966 altogether and his appearances in 60 65 and 67 numbered 9 6 and 17 so the bulk of his career was from 1961 63 with the kansas city athletics and 1964 with the tigers those were also the 4 years he managed to stay out of the minor leagues ed was signed by the brooklyn dodgers in 1957 and made his major league debut with los angeles in 1960 he pitched 9 games in his first season 7 in the first 2 months then 2 more during his september recall during spring training in 1961 he was traded to the athletics for pitcher howie reed ed was primarily a reliever in 1961 but also made 11 starts he was the team s ace in 1962 leading in starts 35 innings 235 and complete games 11 by the way the other starters were dan pfister jerry walker and orlando pena a far cry from jim hunter lew krausse johnny odom jim nash and chuck dobson who manned the rotation in just a few years in 1962 ed was joined in the rotation by dave wickersham rookie diego segui and moe drabowsky who joined the team in mid season rakow led the league in earned runs allowed 111 and also losses 17 which i imagine wasn t hard to do for the early 1960s athletics he still managed to win a career high 14 games in 1963 he slumped to a 9 10 record after the season he was traded to the tigers along with wickersham and 2nd baseman jerry lumpe for outfielder rocky colavito and long time cubs pitcher bob anderson he made 13 starts for the tigers but spent most of 1964 in the bullpen rakow made 6 relief appearances during the first half of may 1965 but was soon sent down to the minors not to return to the majors until 1967 the tigers released him in may 1966 then he was signed by the red sox but spent all of 1966 in the minors in december he and pitcher julio navarro were traded to the braves for catcher chris cannizzaro and outfielder john herrnstein ed s final major league action was 17 games with the braves over the second half of 1967 he played for the braves aaa team in early 1967 and all of 1968 before retiring rakow passed away in 2000 at age 65 posted by jim from downingtown at 4 00 am no comments labels debut 1960 final card tigers ed rakow saturday march 21 2020 final

class b team in 1948 that team would also include robin roberts between 1947 and 1953 he bounced around the farm systems of the tigers cubs braves and pirates barney was traded to the cardinals before the 1954 season and after another full season in the minors he made his major league debut in april 1955 eleven seasons into his career he appeared in 19 games but by mid june with an era of 7 89 he was sent back to the minors to finish the season schultz spent the next 3 seasons in the minors for the cardinals and following a may 1958 trade the tigers detroit called him up for 13 games in mid summer 1959 but then it was back to the bushes barney was dealt to the cubs in april 1960 and in mid june 1961 he returned to the majors for the next 5 years although spending parts of 64 and 65 in the minors he pitched in 41 51 39 30 and 34 games from 1961 65 in his june 1961 return he pitched in both ends of a doubleheader on his first day back in june 1963 he was traded back to the cardinals
