1960 Topps #112 Jack Harshman
About Jack Harshman
Jack Harshman's 1960 Topps card, #112, catches him in his final season, with Cleveland. John Elvin Harshman signed out of San Diego's Herbert Hoover High in 1945 as a slugging first baseman with the Pacific Coast League's San Diego Padres, spending five minor-league seasons chasing home runs — 40 for Minneapolis in 1949, 47 for Nashville in 1951 — before Nashville's owner suggested his left arm, not his bat, was his path to the majors. The conversion paid off: after brief trials with the New York Giants (1948, 1950, 1952), Harshman became a mainstay starter for the Chicago White Sox (1954–57), highlighted by a 16-strikeout complete game against Ted Williams and the Red Sox at Fenway Park on July 25, 1954 — still a White Sox single-game record — and a 1-0 one-hitter over Baltimore's Connie Johnson on June 21, 1956. He closed his career with Baltimore, Boston, and Cleveland, making his last major league appearance for the Indians on October 1, 1960, the club and season pictured on this card.
