1960 Topps #347 Ed Bouchee
About Ed Bouchee
Ed Bouchee broke in as Philadelphia's left-handed first baseman on September 19, 1956, after starring in football, basketball, and baseball at Spokane's Lewis and Clark High School and playing college ball at Washington State. His 1957 rookie season was the best of his career: a .293 average, 17 home runs, and 76 RBIs earned him The Sporting News' NL Rookie Player of the Year award, All-Rookie honors, and a runner-up finish in the Rookie of the Year vote. A January 1958 arrest on indecent-exposure charges and a stretch of psychiatric treatment kept him off the field until he rejoined the Phillies that July — the reason Topps never issued his planned 1958 card (#145). Bouchee played parts of two more seasons in Philadelphia before a mid-1960 trade sent him to the Cubs, catching him here on card #347 with the Phillies just ahead of the deal. He closed his seven-year National League career with the 1962 Mets, finishing with a .265 average, 61 home runs, and 290 RBIs over 670 games.
