1960 Topps #96 Ralph Terry
About Ralph Terry
Ralph Willard Terry, a tall right-hander out of Big Cabin, Oklahoma, is pictured on card #96 in his familiar Yankees pinstripes — the club he anchored through five straight American League pennants from 1960 to 1964. Signed by New York in 1953, he debuted in 1956, bounced to Kansas City in a 1957 trade, then returned to the Yankees in 1959 alongside Hector Lopez. Terry's postseason story is baseball's classic study in redemption: in 1960 he threw the pitch Bill Mazeroski drove over the Forbes Field wall to beat New York in Game 7, then three years later delivered the flip side, closing out the 1962 World Series with a 1-0 shutout of the Giants, freezing Willie McCovey on a liner to second for the final out. That 1962 season was his career year — a league-leading 23 wins and the World Series MVP award. Terry finished with 107 wins and 1,000 strikeouts across twelve seasons with the Yankees, Athletics, Indians, and Mets.
