#514 Mike Lum - Atlanta Braves

Michael Ken-Wai Lum
Atlanta Braves
Outfield

Bats:  Left  Throws:  Left  Height:  6'0"  Weight:  180
Born:  October 27, 1945, Honolulu, HI
Signed:  Signed by the Milwaukee Braves as an amateur free agent, June 21, 1963
Major League Teams:  Atlanta Braves 1967-75; Cincinnati Reds 1976-78; Atlanta Braves 1979-81; Chicago Cubs 1981

Mike Lum played professionally in 20 seasons, having his best seasons in the early 1970s with the Braves, and went on to be a long-time coach in the minor and major leagues.  Lum was a September call-up in 1967, and he'd join the Braves for good to start the 1968 season.  He was the team's opening day left fielder in 1968 and he'd spend his first few seasons in Atlanta as a reserve outfielder and successful pinch-hitter.  Lum played in a career-high 145 games in 1971 as the team's everyday center fielder, and he'd come close to that mark again in 1973, playing in 138 games as the Braves' regular first baseman.  1973 was his finest season, as Lum batted .294 with 16 home runs and 82 RBIs - all three career high marks.

He'd move to the Reds following the 1975 season, beginning a six-year stretch in which he was used mostly as a left-handed bat off the bench.  While he didn't appear in any World Series games, Lum was a member of the 1976 World Champion Reds team.  He'd play a final season in Japan in 1982 before retiring as a player.  In 1,517 games, Lum collected 877 hits, batted .247 and had 90 home runs and 431 RBIs.  He was a .248 batter as a pinch-hitter, collecting 103 career pinch-hits, including 10 home runs.  Lum coached in the majors with the Cubs (1985) and Royals (1988-89).  He also served as a long-time minor league coach in the Braves, White Sox, Giants, Brewers and Pirates organizations.

December 15, 2024 from The Philly Show (Uncle Dick's Cards)
On Sunday, December 15th, Doug and I attended the latest Philly Show, spaciously spread out inside Hall A of the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, Pennsylvania.  I wrote a full show report over at The Phillies Room, including some thoughts on attending the show with our oldest son, who first graced the Philly Show floors back in 2012.

Having had success the prior two shows at Uncle Dick's Cards with his well-organized, neon common binders, I opted to pull up a chair once again at the friendly dealer's array of tables.  The aim was simple:  Clear out Uncle Dick's 1969 Topps commons, starting off where I had left off the year before with card #501 and going through the end of the set, card #664.  In less than 25 minutes, I completed my quest, and this is the seventh of 98 commons pulled from the binder.  After a generous dealer discount due to my bulk purchase, this card cost less than a dollar.

The Card / Braves Team Set / Accuracy Index +5

Lum shared a rookie card with the Phillies' Larry Hisle (#206) in the 1968 Topps set, and this is his first solo appearance.  The back of the card highlights Lum's defensive skills as an outfielder.

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

1969 Season
Lum started the season behind Henry Aaron (#100), Tito Francona (#398), Felipe Alou (#300), Ralph Garr and Bob Aspromonte (#542) on the Braves' outfield depth chart.  He'd make 31 starts throughout the season, at all three outfield spots, and appeared in 121 games overall.  Lum batted .268 with a home run and 22 RBIs in the regular season, and his appearance in the 1969 NLCS made him the first Hawaiian-born ballplayer to appear in the postseason.  He went 2 for 2 with a double in the NLCS, but the Braves fell to the Mets in a three-game sweep.

#513 Camilo Pascual - Washington Senators / #515 Dick Green - Oakland Athletics

#513 Camilo Pascual - Washington Senators

Camilo Alberto Pascual
Washington Senators
Pitcher

Bats:  Right  Throws:  Right  Height:  5'11"  Weight:  170
Born:  January 20, 1934, La Habana, Cuba
Signed:  Signed by the Washington Senators as an amateur free agent before 1952 season
Major League Teams:  Washington Nationals 1954-56; Washington Senators 1957-60; Minnesota Twins 1961-66; Washington Senators 1967-69; Cincinnati Reds 1969; Los Angeles Dodgers 1970; Cleveland Indians 1971

World Series Appearances:  Minnesota Twins 1965

If not for Camilo Pascual, the Nationals/Senators/Twins teams of the late 1950s/early 1960s would have lost a lot more games than they actually did.  Pascual was a mainstay in those teams' pitching rotations, making at least 25 starts in 11 different seasons between 1956 and 1967.  He was named to seven All-Star teams and was a 20-game winner in 1962 and 1963.  Pascual led the American League in complete games in 1959, 1962 and 1963 and in shutouts in 1959, 1961 and 1962.  He struck out over 200 in a season four times, leading the league in that category in 1961, 1962 and 1963.  He finished in the top four in ERA in four different seasons.  Pascual holds the record for opening day strikeouts, having fanned 15 Red Sox on opening day in 1960.  Ted Williams (#650) described Pascual's overhand curveball as the "most feared curveball in the American League for 18 years."

The Twins, who had moved from Washington, traded Pascual to the expansion Washington Senators in December 1966, giving him the distinction of having pitched for both versions of the expansion Senators teams.

Over his career, Pascual pitched in 529 games and had a record of 174-170 with a 3.63 ERA.  His 2,167 career strikeouts currently ranks him 71st on the all-time list.  Following his playing career, Pascual served as Gene Mauch's (#606) pitching coach for the Twins between 1978 and 1980.  He also worked as a scout for the A's, Mets and Dodgers and he was the scout who recommended the A's sign Jose Canseco.  Pascual was inducted into the Twins Hall of Fame in 2012.

The Card / Senators Team Set / Accuracy Index -12

This is the same photo Topps used for Pascual's 1968 card, and I'm guessing he's wearing a Twins jersey here, putting the photo at at least three years old.  Given his longevity in the league, the back of the card doesn't have room for a cartoon and is filled with his career stats to date.  The one sentence write-up highlights Pascual achieving 2,000 strikeouts.  Pascual struck out the Angels' Chuck Hinton (#644) on April 15, 1968 to reach the milestone.

Accuracy Index:  This is the first -12 in a while, as Pascual's card loses points for the former team uniform (-5), lack of a hat (-3) and the repeat photo (-4).

Inserts:  With not a lot of big names on the Senators, Pascual is included as one of the 48 decals in the Topps Decals insert set.

1969 Season
Pascual made his fifth and final Opening Day start, getting hit hard and allowing four runs in 2 2/3 innings before being pulled by Williams, the new Senators' manager.  Pascual labored through 14 games with Washington, and was 2-5 with a 6.83 ERA when the team sold him to the Reds on July 7th.  The veteran pitcher continued to struggle in Cincinnati, earning an 8.59 ERA in five appearances and just 7 1/3 innings pitched.

Died:  June 10, 2006, Little Rock, AR (age 70)

A well-known practical joker, Moe Drabowsky pitched in parts of 17 seasons in the majors, earning World Series rings with the Orioles in 1966 and 1970.  Signed as a bonus baby by the Cubs in 1956, Drabowsky began his career as a starting pitcher but soon found more success as a reliever.  His best seasons as a starting pitcher came with the 1957 Cubs (13-15 in 33 starts with a 3.53 ERA) and the 1963 Athletics (7-13 in 22 starts with a 3.05 ERA).  Drabowsky was a key reliever for the Orioles in their 1966 championship season, going 6-0 with a 2.81 ERA over 44 appearances and pitching 6 2/3 innings of scoreless relief in Game 1 of the World Series against the Dodgers.  After a season and a half with the expansion Royals, in which he won the first game in franchise history, Drabowsky came back to the Orioles and again pitched effectively out of the bullpen for the eventual World Champions.  Drabowsky had a lifetime record of 88-105 with 54 saves over 589 games pitched.

He'd later coach in the White Sox and Cubs' systems, serving as the White Sox pitching coach in 1986 and the Cubs pitching coach in 1994.  Drabowsky was a minor league pitching instructor with the Orioles between 1995 and 2006.  Throughout his career, his practical joking including surprising teammates with live snakes, imitating front office personnel on phone calls and his prank of choice, the hot foot, in which a match is lighted while in the victim's shoe.

The Card / Royals Team Set / Accuracy Index +10

This is the second card in the set to feature the expansion Royals' uniform, following the card for Dennis Ribant (#463).  With the palm trees prevalent in the background, Drabowsky is modeling a Royals' road uniform somewhere in Florida.  The veteran's full major league statistics are on the back, along with a cartoon and write-up highlighting his heroics while with the Orioles.

Accuracy Index:  Drabowsky scores a +10 for accurately depicted expansion uniform.

1969 Season
Drabowsky was the 42nd pick by the Royals in the 1968 expansion draft, held on October 15, 1968.  He was credited with the first win in franchise history on April 8, 1969, when the Royals defeated the Twins by a score of 4-3 in 12 innings.  Drabowsky threw a perfect inning in the top of the 12th, and Joe Keough (#603) singled home Joe Foy (#93) with the winning run in the bottom of the 12th.  Drabowsky would assume closing duties for the expansion club, appearing in a team-leading 52 games and going 11-9 with a 2.94 ERA and 11 saves.

#506 Paul Blair - Baltimore Orioles

Paul L.D. Blair
Baltimore Orioles
Outfield

Bats:  Right  Throws:  Right  Height:  6'0"  Weight:  168
Born:  February 1, 1944, Cushing, OK
Signed:  Signed by the New York Mets as an amateur free agent, July 20, 1961
Major League Teams:  Baltimore Orioles 1964-76; New York Yankees 1977-79; Cincinnati Reds 1979; New York Yankees 1980

World Series Appearances:  Baltimore Orioles 1966, 1969-71; New York Yankees 1977-78
Died:  December 26, 2013, Baltimore, MD (age 69)

Paul Blair was an eight-time Gold Glove winner and was the regular center fielder for the Orioles dynasty that won four American League pennants and two World Series between 1966 and 1971.  Blair played a key role in the Orioles' 1966 World Series victory, hitting the game-winning home run in Game 3 and robbing the Dodgers' Jim Lefebvre (#140) of a home run in Game 4 that would have tied the game.  He led the league in triples with 12 in 1967.  Blair's excellent range in the outfield led to his Gold Glove honors, including seven in a row between 1969 and 1975.  His best season was perhaps 1969 when he made his first All-Star team and batted .285 with 26 home runs and 76 RBIs - both career highs.  

1967 Topps #153

After 13 seasons with the Orioles, Blair was dealt to the Yankees before the 1977 season and he'd win two more World Series rings in the Bronx.  Blair collected 1,513 hits over 1,947 games, batting .250, and he was inducted into the Baltimore Orioles Hall of Fame in 1984.  Blair's 104 assists as a center fielder are currently 39th on the all-time list.  He served as a college and minor league coach from the early 1980s until the early 2000s.

The Card / Orioles Team Set / Accuracy Index +5

Blair wore #6 with the Orioles between 1965 and 1976.  The cartoon on the back of the card highlights his game-winning home run against the Dodgers in 1966 World Series Game 3, and Topps had previously spotlighted this event with a card in its 1967 flagship set's World Series subset.  The write-up refers to Blair's struggles in 1968, in which he batted just .211 in the Year of the Pitcher.  Topps reprinted this card in its 2002 Topps Archives set.

Accuracy Index:  Blair's card scores a +5, a mark becoming much more prevalent in these higher series cards.

1969 Season
As mentioned above, this was Blair's career year.  As the regular center fielder for the pennant-winning Orioles, Blair set career bests in home runs and RBIs.  His 7.1 bWAR was second on the team to only Frank Robinson (#250), who had a 7.5 mark.  Blair's 20 stolen bases led the Orioles.  He was third in the league in hits (178), fourth in doubles (32), second in outfield assists (12), and led the league with 13 sacrifice bunts.  Blair easily handled Twins' pitching in the ALCS, batting .400 (6 for 15) but slumped in the World Series against the Mets with only a pair of hits in 20 at-bats.

World Series Appearances:  San Francisco Giants 1962
Died:  June 2, 2023, Easley, SC (age 84)

Bobby Bolin pitched in more games (345) for the Giants during the 1960s than any other pitcher, topping both Juan Marichal (#370) and Gaylord Perry (#485) who had 328 and 289 appearances respectively.  Bolin was a 10-game winner in four different seasons and made his sole World Series appearance in 1962, pitching in two games against the Yankees.  A reliable starting pitcher during the peak of his career, his best season came in 1968 during the "Year of the Pitcher."  Bolin went 10-5 that season over 34 starts, earning a 1.99 ERA, second only to Bob Gibson (#200) and his ERA of 1.12.  A reliever at the end of his career, he saved a career-high 15 games for the Red Sox in 1973.  Bolin's career record was 88-75 over 13 seasons with a 3.40 ERA.  He had 51 saves and 1,175 lifetime strikeouts.

The Card / Giants Team Set / Accuracy Index +5

Photos for Bolin's 1968 and 1969 Topps cards (and maybe his 1965 Topps card?) were likely taken at the same time.  The write-up on the back of the card highlights his 1.98 ERA from the 1968 season, and Bolin appears earlier in the set on the ERA League Leaders card (#8).  The cartoon highlights a no-hitter thrown by Bolin in 1959 while a member of the Eugene Emeralds of the Northwest League.

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 Bolin's last name printed in yellow.

Accuracy Index:  Bolin's card scores a semi-standard by now +5.

1969 Season
In his last of nine seasons with the Giants, Bolin pitched in 30 games, making 22 starts, and was 7-7 with a 4.43 ERA.  Bolin served as the fourth starter for the Giants, behind Perry, Marichal and Mike McCormick (#517).  On December 12th, he was dealt to the Seattle Pilots for Dick Simpson (#608) and Steve Whitaker (#71).  While he appears in a Pilots uniform on his 1970 Topps card, the Pilots moved to Milwaukee to become the Brewers before the start of the 1970 season.

#504 6th Series Checklist 513-588 / #506 Paul Blair - Baltimore Orioles

#503 Larry Brown - Cleveland Indians

Larry Leslie Brown
Cleveland Indians
Shortstop

Bats:  Right  Throws:  Right  Height:  5'10"  Weight:  160
Born:  March 1, 1940, Shinnston, WV
Signed:  Signed by the Cleveland Indians as an amateur free agent before 1958 season
Major League Teams:  Cleveland Indians 1963-71; Oakland Athletics 1971-72; Baltimore Orioles 1973; Texas Rangers 1974

Died:  April 13, 2024, Stuart, FL (age 84)

Larry Brown was a steady-fielding, light-hitting middle infielder for parts of 12 seasons with four different American League teams.  Most of his career was spent with the Indians, where he was a regular at shortstop in 1967 and 1968.  Brown was a career .233 batter and enjoyed his best seasons at the plate in 1965 (.253 average, 22 doubles) and 1968 (.234 average, career-high 116 hits).  He suffered a scary injury on May 4, 1966, colliding with teammate Leon Wagner (#187) on a play and suffering a skull fracture.  Brown missed six weeks of the season while recovering.  

A semi-regular with the Indians throughout the 1960s, he ultimately lost his starting job in early 1970 when Jack Heidemann took over as the team's regular shortstop.  Brown was sold to the Athletics the following season, and he'd play four seasons as a back-up infielder or pinch-hitter with the Athletics, Orioles and Rangers.  He retired following the 1974 season.  In 1,129 career games, Brown collected 803 hits and had 47 home runs with 254 RBIs.

The Card / Indians Team Set / Accuracy Index +5

There's a chance the photos used for Brown's Topps cards between 1966 and 1969 were all taken at the same photo session.  

Similar to his 1965 Topps card, Brown's older brother Dick is referenced on the back.  Dick Brown was a catcher for the Indians (1957-59), White Sox (1960), Tigers (1961-62) and Orioles (1963-65).   The elder Brown, at the time a scout for the Orioles, tragically passed away in April 1970 at the age of 35 from a brain tumor.  He appeared in his sixth and final Topps flagship set in 1963.

Accuracy Index:  Brown's card receives a +5.

1969 Season
Once again the opening day shortstop for the Indians, Brown eventually lost playing time to rookie Eddie Leon, with Leon taking over the regular job in July.  With Leon now at shortstop, Brown still got an occasional start at third base over the remaining months of the season.  In 132 games, Brown batted .239 with 10 doubles, four home runs and 24 RBIs.
