#474 Tom Murphy - California Angels

Thomas Andrew Murphy
California Angels
Pitcher

Bats:  Right  Throws:  Right  Height:  6'3"  Weight:  185
Born:  December 30, 1945, Cleveland, OH
Drafted:  Drafted by the California Angels in the 1st round (6th pick) of the 1967 amateur draft, January 28, 1967
Major League Teams:  California Angels 1968-72; Kansas City Royals 1972; St. Louis Cardinals 1973; Milwaukee Brewers 1974-76; Boston Red Sox 1976-77; Toronto Blue Jays 1977-79

Tom Murphy, a stand-out pitcher at Ohio University, was drafted three years in a row by three different teams before finally signing with the Angels in 1967.  Originally a starter, Murphy went 5-6 with a 2.17 ERA in 15 starts during his 1968 rookie campaign, and he'd win a career-high 16 games in 1970.  He'd struggle somewhat with wildness over the following few seasons, pitching with the Royals and Cardinals, before landing in the Brewers' bullpen to start the 1974 season.  Serving as the team's full-time closer, Murphy had a career year, going 10-10 with a 1.90 ERA in 70 games, and recording 20 saves.  He'd record 20 saves again in 1975, before wildness once again did him in.  Murphy often had almost as many walks in a season as strikeouts, and he led the league in wild pitches twice.

Murphy's final stop, his sixth team over his 12 year career, came in Toronto, and he'd spend the final 2 1/2 seasons of his big league career as a reliable reliever for the Blue Jays.  For his career, Murphy was 68-101 with a 3.78 ERA and 59 saves in 439 games pitched.  In 1,444 innings, he struck out 621 and walked 493.

Building the Set / Card #418
December 3, 2023 from The Philly Show (Uncle Dick's Cards)

Doug and I returned to The Philly Show in early December, once again held inside the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, Pennsylvania.  eBay has taken over sponsorship of the show, with the quaint, bubble-lettered Philly Show logo that had been in place since the 1980s replaced with a more modern logo, keeping with the times.  I wrote about the show in a post over at The Phillies Room.

Similar to my strategy from March, I wanted to focus on accumulating commons and having found success with Uncle Dick's Cards before, I didn't mess around and headed right for the neon green binders.  I pulled 145 cards from the binder containing cards 301 to the end of the set, stopping when I reached 500.  This card was the 126th of 145 cards purchased for our set, and after the dealer discount due to my bulk purchase, it cost a little less than a dollar.

The Card / Angels Team Set / Accuracy Index +5

This is Murphy's rookie card, and I'm noticing some of the photos used for the set could have really used some brightness adjustment.  The cartoon on the back highlights his graduating from Ohio, and I think the cartoonist wanted to depict Murphy graduating in the snow?  The last line of the write-up seems a little too obscure to merit mentioning.

Accuracy Index:  Murphy's rookie card scores a solid +5.

1969 Season
This was Murphy's second season with the Angels, and his first full season in the majors.  He made 35 starts, tying him for the team lead in starts with Jim McGlothlin (#386).  Andy Messsersmith (#296), the ace of the staff, made 33 starts and won 16 games.  Murphy was 10-16 with a 4.21 ERA, pitching 215 2/3 innings, second in total only to Messersmith.  Murphy threw four complete games, while leading the league in hit batters (21) and wild pitches (16).

#473 Jose Arcia - San Diego Padres

Jose Raimundo Arcia
San Diego Padres
Second Base

Bats:  Right  Throws:  Right Height:  6'3"  Weight:  170
Born:  August 22, 1943, La Habana, Cuba
Signed:  Signed by the Houston Colt .45s as an amateur free agent before 1962 season
Major League Teams:  Chicago Cubs 1968; San Diego Padres 1969-70

Died:  July 30, 2016, Miami, FL (age 72)

Jose Arcia played six seasons in the minor league systems of the Colt .45s, Indians and Cardinals before getting selected by the Cubs prior to the 1968 season in the annual rule 5 draft.  Required to keep him on their roster all year, the Cubs used Arcia as a super utility player.  In 59 games, he saw time at five different positions and was a frequent pinch-runner.  Selected in the expansion draft, the Padres gave Arcia a home for two seasons, where his versatility was again his top asset.  He played in a career-high 120 games in 1969 for the new club, finishing the season with 60 starts at second base - more than any other Padre.  He also led the team in both stolen bases (14) and times caught stealing (seven).

His last season in the majors was 1970, but Arcia played six more seasons in the minors in the Angels, Twins, Royals and Astros organizations.  In 293 games, Arcia batted .215 with 24 doubles, a single home run and 35 RBIs.

The Card / Padres Team Set / Accuracy Index +10

Arcia's rookie card appears in the 1968 Topps set, and this is his first solo appearance.  He's one of three non-Rookie Stars cards in the set to feature the new Padres uniform, along with Al Ferrara (#452) and Johnny Podres (#659).  The cartoon on the back refers back to Arcia's stint as a pitcher in the minor leagues.  Between 1962 and 1966, and the Baseball Reference statistics are incomplete, Arcia was 17-14 with at least 108 earned runs allowed in 237 known innings.  He struck out at least 204 and walked 134 batters.

This is one of 23 cards available in the set's fifth series available as either "yellow letter" or "white letter" variations, with the yellow letter variations being more prevalent.  This is the more prevalent yellow letter variation with Arcia's first name printed in yellow.

Accuracy Index:  Arcia gets the bonus +10 for the expansion uniform.

1969 Season
Arcia batted .215 in 120 games for the last place Padres.  Playing the bulk of his time at second base, he also played first base, third base, shortstop and left field, and had 29 pinch-running appearances.

#472 Jim Price - Detroit Tigers

Jimmie William Price
Detroit Tigers
Catcher

Bats:  Right  Throws:  Right  Height:  6'0"  Weight:  192
Born:  October 13, 1941, Harrisburg, PA
Signed:  Signed by the Pittsburgh Pirates as an amateur free agent before 1960 season
Major League Teams:  Detroit Tigers 1967-71

World Series Appearances:  Detroit Tigers 1968
Died:  August 7, 2023, Washington, MI (age 81)

Jim Price played in parts of five seasons as a back-up catcher for the Tigers, before joining the team's broadcast booth for nearly 30 years.  Originally signed by the Pirates, Price moved steadily through Pittsburgh's minor league chain, earning Pirates Minor League Player of the Year honors in 1963.  After seven seasons in the minors, and facing yet another year hoping for the Pirates to give him a chance, Price requested a trade and was sold to the Tigers in April 1967.  As Bill Freehan's (#390) back-up, he played sparingly, but he'd never return to the minors again.  Price was a member of the Tigers team that defeated the Cardinals in seven games in the 1968 World Series.  For his career, he batted .214 in 261 games, with 18 home runs and 71 RBIs.

Price began his broadcasting career shortly after his playing career ended.  He was the announcer for the first live sports event broadcast on ESPN in 1979, the APSPL World Series for Professional Softball.  He joined the Tigers' broadcast booth in 1993, where he'd work until a month before his passing in August 2023.

The Card / Tigers Team Set / Accuracy Index +5

Price is shown posing at Yankee Stadium, with a teammate wearing #26 making a cameo appearance behind him.  Gates Brown (#256) wore that number with the Tigers between 1963 and 1975, and the player walking behind Price would seem to have much lighter skin than Brown.  So maybe it's a #28?  If so, that's either Mike Marshall (#17) or Orlando Pena, who both wore the number between 1965 and 1967.  Or . . . maybe it's a Yankees player?  Price's 1968 Topps card features a similar cameo, this time from someone wearing #22.

The back of the card refers to his game-winning, pinch-hit home run hit against the White Sox and Wilbur Wood (#123) on August 21, 1968.  Price's home run gave the Tigers a 3-2 win.  He's also referred to as both "Jim" and "Jimmie" on the back of the card.

Accuracy Index:  Price's card earns a +5.

1969 Season
Statistically his best season in the majors, Price batted .234 in 72 games for the Tigers, with nine home runs and 28 RBIs.  Both power numbers were career bests.  He made 49 starts behind the plate to the 113 starts made by All-Star catcher Freehan.

#471 Ted Savage - Los Angeles Dodgers

Theodore Ephisian Savage
Los Angeles Dodgers
Outfield

Bats:  Right  Throws:  Right  Height:  6'1"  Weight:  185
Born:  February 21, 1936, Venice, IL
Signed:  Signed by the Philadelphia Phillies as an amateur free agent, February 18, 1960
Major League Teams:  Philadelphia Phillies 1962; Pittsburgh Pirates 1963; St. Louis Cardinals 1965-67; Chicago Cubs 1967-68; Los Angeles Dodgers 1968; Cincinnati Reds 1969; Milwaukee Brewers 1970-71; Kansas City Royals 1971

Died:  January 12, 2023, St. Louis, MO (age 86)

Ted Savage was a journeyman outfielder who appeared with eight different teams over nine seasons in the majors.  Originally signed by the Phillies, Savage won International League MVP honors in 1961 while playing for the Phillies' top farm team at the time, the Buffalo Bisons.  He batted .325 that season, with 24 home runs and 65 RBIs.  He made the Phillies' opening day roster in 1962, and appeared in a career-high 127 games in his rookie season.  Savage was frequently on the move, and played for multiple teams in three of his nine years in the big leagues.  His best season came late, when he batted .279 for the Brewers in 1970, collecting career highs in home runs and RBIs, with 12 and 50, respectively.  For his career, Savage batted .233 with 34 home runs and 163 RBIs.

He played a few seasons in Mexico before retiring as a player in 1973.  He'd go on to earn a PhD in urban studies from Saint Louis University, and he held multiple front office and community relations positions with the Cardinals between 1987 and 2012.  Savage is a member of both the Lincoln University Alumni and the Buffalo Bisons Hall of Fame.

The Card / Dodgers Team Set / Accuracy Index -10

Savage is wearing a Pirates' jersey here, and the photo was taken within seconds of the photo used on his 1967 Topps card.  Savage had played one season in Pittsburgh, back in 1963.  The back of the card contains a few minor league accolades for Savage.

This is one of 23 cards available in the set's fifth series available as either "yellow letter" or "white letter" variations, with the yellow letter variations being more prevalent.  This is the more prevalent yellow letter variation with Savage's last name printed in yellow.

Accuracy Index:  This is the first -10 we've seen in a while, as Savage didn't play for the Dodgers in 1969 (-2), he's wearing a Pirates jersey (-5), and he's hatless (-3).

1969 Season
On March 30th, Savage was on the move again, as the Dodgers traded him to the Reds for catcher Jimmie Schaffer.  Given some of the other updates made to team designations this late in the set, it's odd they didn't swap out the Dodgers team name for the Reds.  With the Reds, Savage appeared in 68 games, batting .227 with a pair of home runs and 11 RBIs.  His time in Cincinnati somewhat forgettable, Savage would find success in Milwaukee the following season.

Phillies Career
With high expectations, Savage joined the Phillies in 1962 and batted .266 in 127 games with 11 doubles, seven home runs and 39 RBIs.  His 16 stolen bases were third on the club behind Tony Taylor (#108), with 20, and Tony Gonzalez (#501), with 17.  Savage struggled to find playing time in Gene Mauch's (#606) outfield, given the presence of Gonzalez, Johnny Callison (#133) and Wes Covington.  He'd start 82 games throughout the season - 65 in left field, nine in center field and eight in right field.  Savage, along with a few other rookies, was snubbed in the Rookie of the Year voting, with the award going to the Cubs' Ken Hubbs.

With a crowded outfield, and with racist undertones as possible motivation, the Phillies traded Savage and Pancho Herrera to the Pirates on November 28, 1962, for veteran third baseman Don Hoak.  Savage's Phillies career lasted just the one season but gave him a fantastic-looking rookie card in the 1962 Topps set.

#470 Mel Stottlemyre - New York Yankees

Melvin Leon Stottlemyre
New York Yankees
Pitcher

Bats:  Right  Throws:  Right  Height:  6'1"  Weight:  178
Born:  November 13, 1941, Hazleton, MO
Signed:  Signed by the New York Yankees as an amateur free agent before 1961 season
Major League Teams:  New York Yankees 1964-74

World Series Appearances:  New York Yankees 1964
Died:  January 13, 2019, Seattle, WA (age 77)

As a 22-year-old rookie in 1964, Mel Stottlemyre went 9-3 with a 2.06 ERA over the final few months of the season, helping the Yankees win their fifth consecutive pennant.  In his only World Series action as a player, Stottlemyre started Games 2, 5 and 7 of the 1964 World Series, throwing a complete game victory in Game 2, but losing the decisive Game 7 to the Cardinals' Bob Gibson (#200).  He was a 20-game winner in 1965, 1968 and 1969, leading the league in complete games with 18 in 1965 and 24 in 1969.  Stottlemyre was a five-time All-Star, starting the 1969 game against the Cardinals' Steve Carlton (#255).  He retired as a player following the 1974 season having pitched in 360 games, and compiling a 164-139 record with a 2.97 ERA, 152 complete games and 40 shutouts.  He struck out 1,257 batters over 2,661 1/3 innings pitched.

Stottlemyre would next begin a long career as a minor and major league pitching coach, coaching at the big league level with the Mets (1984-93), Astros (1994-95), Yankees (1996-05) and Mariners (2008).  He won a World Series ring with the Mets (1986) and four with the Yankees (1996, 1998-00) while serving under manager Joe Torre (#460).  His sons Mel, Jr. and Todd also pitched in the majors.

The Card / Yankees Team Set / Accuracy Index +5

There have been fewer repeat photos the further along we get into the set, and this card is no exception to that trend.  Stottlemyre is shown posing in his home Yankee Stadium with a mystery teammate (or coach?) photo bombing the photo underneath the pitcher's glove.  The cartoon refers back to his appearance in the 1968 All-Star Game, in which he pitched a third of an inning, striking out the only batter he faced.  What's more impressive is the one batter he struck out was Henry Aaron (#100), leading off the eighth.  The write-up on the back discusses his hitting skills.  Stottlemyre batted .160 for his career, with 14 doubles, six triples, seven home runs and 57 RBIs.

This is one of 23 cards available in the set's fifth series available as either "yellow letter" or "white letter" variations, with the yellow letter variations being more prevalent.  This is the more prevalent yellow letter variation with Stottlemyre's last name printed in yellow.

Accuracy Index:  Stottlemyre's card scores a +5.

Inserts:  Stottlemyre is included in the 35 card Topps Deckle Edge insert set and is one of 48 decals in the Topps Decals insert set.  He's one of 27 players to appear in both insert sets.

1969 Season
In one of his best seasons, Stottlemyre was 20-14 with a 2.82 ERA in 39 starts.  He finished 24 of those starts, leading the league, and threw three shutouts.  He was the losing pitcher in the All-Star Game, giving up three runs (two earned) in his two innings of work, with Johnny Bench (#95) hitting a two-run home run off him in the second inning.  Stottlemyre was the ace of the Yankees' staff and a bright spot in a season in which his team finished in fifth place in the American League East with only 80 wins.

#469 Chico Ruiz - Cincinnati Reds / #471 Ted Savage - Los Angeles Dodgers

#469 Chico Ruiz - Cincinnati Reds

Giraldo Ruiz
Cincinnati Reds
Infield

Bats:  Both  Throws:  Right  Height:  6'0"  Weight:  169
Born:  December 5, 1938, Santo Domingo, Cuba
Signed:  Signed by the Cincinnati Reds as an amateur free agent before 1958 season
Major League Teams:  Cincinnati Reds 1964-69; California Angels 1970-71

Died:  February 9, 1972, San Diego, CA (age 33)

As a Phillies fan, Chico Ruiz's name evokes stories of the great collapse of 1964 as his steal of home on September 21, 1964 resulted in the start of a ten game losing streak that would cost the Phillies the pennant.  With Art Mahaffey on the mound and Frank Robinson (#250) at the plate in the sixth inning of a scoreless game, Ruiz made the bold decision to steal home.  He was safe, with catcher Clay Dalrymple (#151) unable to handle the pitch and the Phillies' historic collapse had started.  They had been up by 6 1/2 games with 12 games to play prior to Ruiz's dash for the plate.  

Known for his speed, Ruiz saw limited playing time at the start of his big league career, as the Reds had Pete Rose (#120) at second base, Deron Johnson (#297) at third base and Leo Cardenas (#265) at shortstop.  Ruiz enjoyed his best seasons in 1967 and 1968, seeing semi-regular playing time after Cardenas broke a finger.  Ruiz appeared in 85 and 88 games respectively those two seasons, batting .220 and .259.  He was dealt to the Angels following the 1969 season with Alex Johnson (#280), and he'd conclude his big league career with two seasons as a back-up infielder and pinch-hitter for California.  In his rocky final year in the majors, Ruiz was accused of often arguing with Johnson and he allegedly pointed a gun at his teammate in the Angels' clubhouse following the team's loss on June 13, 1971.

Ruiz was released following the season and was set to attend spring training with the Royals in 1972.  On February 9, 1972, he died in a single car accident while driving outside of San Diego.  Ruiz appeared in 565 big league games, collecting 276 hits, 34 stole bases, including one unforgettable steal of home, and batting .240.

Building the Set / Card #413
December 3, 2023 from The Philly Show (Uncle Dick's Cards)

Doug and I returned to The Philly Show in early December, once again held inside the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, Pennsylvania.  eBay has taken over sponsorship of the show, with the quaint, bubble-lettered Philly Show logo that had been in place since the 1980s replaced with a more modern logo, keeping with the times.  I wrote about the show in a post over at The Phillies Room.

Similar to my strategy from March, I wanted to focus on accumulating commons and having found success with Uncle Dick's Cards before, I didn't mess around and headed right for the neon green binders.  I pulled 145 cards from the binder containing cards 301 to the end of the set, stopping when I reached 500.  This card was the 121st of 145 cards purchased for our set, and after the dealer discount due to my bulk purchase, it cost less than a dollar.

The Card / Reds Team Set / Accuracy Index +5

Ruiz wore #15 during his time with the Reds, and his number is peaking through on the back of his jersey.  This photo and the photo used for his 1968 Topps card were likely taken at the same time.  Unfortunately for Phillies' fans, Topps notes his "blinding speed" on the back of the card, mentioning his minor league run of leading the league in stolen bases between 1959 and 1963.

Accuracy Index:  Ruiz's card scores a +5.

1969 Season
In 88 games with the Reds, Ruiz batted .245 with 19 runs scored and four doubles.  Ruiz stole only four bases in six attempts.  He made 50 starts throughout the season - 30 at second base and 20 at shortstop.  Ruiz and Johnson were traded to the Angels on November 25th for Pedro Borbon, Vern Geishert and Jim McGlothlin (#386).
