1963 Topps #65 Jackie Brandt
About Jackie Brandt
Brandt's 1963 card, #65, is a first-series issue reporting the biggest power year of his career. In 1962 he set personal highs with 19 home runs and 75 RBI while batting .255 with 129 hits and 76 runs across 143 games, 110 of them in center field for an Orioles club he had by then anchored for three straight seasons.
Jackie Brandt (born April 28, 1934, in Omaha, Nebraska) signed with the St. Louis Cardinals as an amateur free agent in 1953, debuted on April 21, 1956, and moved that same year to the New York Giants, staying with the franchise through its shift to San Francisco. He won the 1959 National League Gold Glove as the Giants' left fielder, in an outfield that also honored Willie Mays in center. Traded to Baltimore for 1960, he was the Orioles' regular center fielder for five seasons before Paul Blair took the job in 1965. He made the American League All-Star team in 1961 and set career highs of 19 home runs and 75 RBI in 1962. Baltimore sent him and Darold Knowles to the Phillies for Jack Baldschun on December 6, 1965, and he finished in 1967 with Houston. Over 11 seasons he batted .262 with 1,020 hits, 112 home runs and 485 RBI in 1,221 games, nicknamed 'Flakey' for a famously distracted, unpredictable style.
