1960 Topps #478 Frank Torre
About Frank Torre
Frank Torre signed with the Boston Braves as an amateur free agent in 1950 and spent four seasons in the farm system before debuting with the relocated Milwaukee Braves in 1956. A left-handed-hitting first baseman, he split time there with Joe Adcock through the 1960 season pictured on this Topps card, then closed his career with the Phillies in 1962-63. His best year came in 1958, when he hit .309 with career highs of 6 home runs and 55 RBIs as Milwaukee repeated as NL champions. A year earlier he homered twice in the Braves' seven-game upset of the Yankees in the 1957 World Series and tied an NL record by scoring six runs in a single game that September. Prized more for his glove than his bat, Torre twice led NL first basemen in fielding percentage and finished with a .993 career mark. He is the older brother of Hall of Famer Joe Torre.
