The players on this card
Kansas City's 1960 coaching staff, assembled under first-year manager Bob Elliott, brought decades of big-league pedigree to a last-place club. Fred Fitzsimmons ran the pitching staff. A 217-game winner and knuckle-curve specialist for the Giants and Dodgers (1925-1943), he won the 1933 World Series as a Giants player and the 1954 Series as a Giants coach. Don Heffner, an infielder with the Yankees, Browns, Athletics and Tigers who won the 1936 World Series with New York, coached third base — his third season on the Kansas City staff since 1958. Walker Cooper, an eight-time All-Star catcher who won two championships with the Cardinals (1942, 1944) alongside pitcher brother Mort, coached first base. The Athletics finished 58-96, last in the American League, under Cooper's former teammate Elliott.
