1962 Topps #573 Johnny Logan
About Johnny Logan
Card #573 is another seventh-series high number, and it catches Logan in mid-career transit: he wears a Pittsburgh uniform here after a decade as a Boston and Milwaukee Brave. The numbers behind it come from a year split in two. Logan opened 1961 as Milwaukee's shortstop and managed two hits in 19 at-bats across 18 games, a .105 average, before the Braves shipped him to the Pirates on June 15 for outfielder Gino Cimoli. He got into 27 games the rest of the way and hit .231, 12 hits in 52 at-bats. He turned 35 that March, and the Milwaukee half of his career was over.
Johnny Logan was born in Endicott, New York, on March 23, 1926, a five-sport star at Union-Endicott High School who was signed for the Boston Braves organization by scout Dewey Griggs. He reached the Braves in 1951, took over at shortstop for good in 1952, and moved with the franchise to Milwaukee in 1953. A four-time All-Star in 1955, 1957, 1958 and 1959, he had his best year in 1955, playing all 154 games, batting .297 and tying Hank Aaron for the National League lead with 37 doubles. He hit the first home run of the 1957 World Series, in a Game Two win over the Yankees, and doubled home the tying run in the tenth inning of Game Four before scoring on Eddie Mathews' game-winning homer. Traded to Pittsburgh on June 15, 1961 for Gino Cimoli, he closed a 13-season major league career in 1963 at .268 with 93 home runs and 547 RBI. One season in Japan with the 1964 Nankai Hawks made him the first player to win both a World Series and a Japan Series.
