1962 Topps #214 Dom Zanni
About Dom Zanni
Card #214 is a third-series number, a plain mid-run slot, and it is the first of his two White Sox cards in the 1960s Topps run. Chicago had landed him on November 30, 1961, in a six-player deal: Zanni, Eddie Fisher, Bob Farley and a player to be named later, Verle Tiefenthaler, went to the White Sox for Billy Pierce and Don Larsen. Zanni made it pay, working a career-high 44 games with two starts, 86.1 innings, 6-5 with a 3.75 ERA, five saves and 66 strikeouts for Al Lopez's fifth-place club. On June 22 he relieved an injured Joe Horlen before an out was recorded and, though knocked unconscious in a collision covering first base, worked all nine innings of a 5-1 win over Kansas City.
Dominick Thomas Zanni, a right-handed pitcher born in the Bronx on March 1, 1932, came out of Boys High School in Brooklyn and signed with his hometown New York Giants as an amateur free agent before the 1951 season. He spent most of the 1950s climbing the minors, throwing a no-hitter for Sioux City of the Western League in June 1954 and helping the Phoenix Giants win the 1958 Pacific Coast League title, which earned him a September call-up and a debut win over St. Louis on September 28, 1958. He was a bullpen man almost from the start, with only three starts in 111 big-league games, and he pitched parts of seven seasons between 1958 and 1966 for the Giants, Chicago White Sox and Cincinnati Reds, finishing 9-6 with a 3.79 ERA, ten saves and 148 strikeouts over 183 innings. Winters took him to the Dominican Republic and to Puerto Rico, where after the 1960 season he went 6-0 with a 2.73 ERA. Following a 1967 season with the minor league Buffalo Bisons he left the game, spent 27 years in the insurance business, and died in Massapequa, New York, in 2017 at 85.
