1961 Topps #338 Don Landrum
About Don Landrum
Topps put Landrum at #338 in the fourth series of the 1961 set, in a St. Louis uniform after Philadelphia traded him to the Cardinals in September 1960. His major league record at that point was thin: 13 games down the stretch in 1960, .245 with a pair of home runs in 49 at-bats. The 1961 season that followed was leaner still, 28 games and a .167 average, because Curt Flood owned center field for a fifth-place club built around Stan Musial, Ken Boyer and Bill White.
Donald Leroy Landrum was born February 16, 1936, in Santa Rosa, California, and attended Mount Diablo High School in Concord. A left-handed hitter who threw right-handed, he stood 6 feet tall at 180 pounds and signed with the Philadelphia Phillies as an amateur free agent in June 1954. Landrum debuted on September 28, 1957, starting both ends of a season-ending pair in center field for the Phillies, then did not surface in the majors again until 1960. Philadelphia traded him to the St. Louis Cardinals in September 1960, and he logged just 73 games and a .227 average across three Cardinals seasons before a June 1962 deal sent him to the Chicago Cubs. He is best remembered in Chicago, where he was the club's regular center fielder in 1965. That December the Cubs dealt him to the San Francisco Giants, and he played his last big-league game on July 21, 1966. Over eight seasons Landrum hit .234 with 12 home runs and 75 RBI in 456 games. He later worked in businesses in East Contra Costa County and died at his home in Pittsburg, California, on January 9, 2003, at age 66.
