1962 Topps #67 Harvey Haddix


About Harvey Haddix
Card #67 in the 1962 Topps first series pictures Haddix with the Pittsburgh Pirates. It follows a 1961 season in which he went 10-6 with a 4.10 ERA, working 156 innings across 29 appearances, 22 of them starts. The defending National League champions slid to 75-79 and sixth place around him, and by September manager Danny Murtaugh had moved him to the bullpen to finish games alongside Roy Face.
Harvey Haddix was a left-handed pitcher who spent 14 seasons in the majors with the Cardinals, Phillies, Redlegs, Pirates, and Orioles from 1952 to 1965. Listed at 5-foot-9, the wiry lefty picked up the nickname 'Kitten' at Triple-A Columbus, where general manager George Sisler Jr. likened him to Cardinals left-hander Harry Brecheen, known as 'The Cat.' He had his best year in 1953, going 20-9 with a 3.06 ERA, 19 complete games, and a league-leading six shutouts. An All-Star from 1953 through 1955, he won three straight Gold Gloves from 1958 to 1960. He is best remembered for pitching 12 perfect innings against the Milwaukee Braves on May 26, 1959, before losing the no-hitter and the game in the 13th. He finished 136-113 with a 3.63 ERA and 1,575 strikeouts and won two World Series rings with Pittsburgh, one as a player in 1960 and one as pitching coach in 1979. After his last playing season in 1965 he coached pitchers for the Mets, Reds, Red Sox, Indians, and Pirates through 1984. A heavy smoker, Haddix developed emphysema and died in Springfield, Ohio, in 1994 at age 68.
