1958 Topps #303 Neil Chrisley
About Neil Chrisley
Neil Chrisley's 1958 Topps card is #303, from Series Four of the 494-card set, and it shows him with the Washington Senators, right after #302 Mike Baxes. That season the left-handed outfielder played 105 games, hit .215 with 5 home runs and 26 RBI, and collected his first big-league homer off Bob Turley on May 9. On December 6 the Senators traded him to Detroit with Rocky Bridges and Eddie Yost.
Barbra O'Neil Chrisley, Neil to everyone in baseball, was a 6-foot-3 outfielder from Calhoun Falls, South Carolina who batted left and threw right. The Boston Red Sox signed him in 1950, a week after he graduated from Calhoun Falls High School, and a November 1955 trade sent him to the Washington Senators, where he reached the majors on April 15, 1957 and singled as a pinch hitter in his first at-bat. He was a reserve outfielder and pinch hitter from there on: 105 games with 5 home runs for Washington in 1958, a career-high 6 homers on a .132 average for Detroit in 1959, and his best all-around season in 1960, when he hit .255 with 5 home runs and 24 RBI. Across five seasons with the Senators, Tigers and Milwaukee Braves he batted .210 with 16 home runs and 64 RBI in 302 games, playing all three outfield spots and only three games anywhere else. After baseball he sold insurance in Greenwood, South Carolina; he died in Conway, South Carolina in 2013, and his old high school later put him in its hall of fame and named its baseball field for him. He was not elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
