1963 Topps #137 Mack Jones
About Mack Jones
Card #137 reports Jones's 1962 season, his first extended look in the majors: 91 games for the Milwaukee Braves, a .255 average with 17 doubles, 10 home runs, 36 RBI and 51 runs scored. The series-2 base card catches him in an outfield job he never quite locked down. A fast start won him right field; a slump and 100 strikeouts in 333 at-bats cost it, and 1963 brought another trip back to the minors and a .219 mark in 228 at-bats.
Mack Jones was signed by the Milwaukee Braves in 1958 out of Atlanta amateur ball, and the left-handed-hitting, right-throwing outfielder reached the majors on July 13, 1961 at age 22, tying a modern National League record with four hits in his first game. He played for the Milwaukee and Atlanta Braves (1961-1967), the Cincinnati Reds (1968) and the Montreal Expos (1969-1971), mostly in center field and later in left. A .317, 39-homer season at Triple-A Syracuse in 1964 brought him back to a career-high 31 home runs in 1965. Taken by Montreal in the October 1968 expansion draft, he was an immediate favorite there, hitting the first home run struck in a major-league regular-season game in Canada and lending his name to the left-field bleachers at Jarry Park that fans called Jonesville. Nicknamed Mack the Knife after the 1959 Bobby Darin hit, he closed ten major-league seasons at .252 with 133 home runs and 415 RBI, and was inducted into the International League Hall of Fame in 2013.
