1963 Topps #414 Ty Cline
About Ty Cline
Card #414, a fifth print series issue, is Cline's first in a Milwaukee uniform. The move had been pending since November 21, 1962, when Cleveland acquired first baseman Joe Adcock from the Braves in a five-player trade; Cline was the player to be named later, and he was sent to Milwaukee on March 18, 1963. He arrived off his only season as a regular, 118 games and 375 at-bats for the 1962 Indians, with 93 hits, 15 doubles, 28 runs batted in and a .248 average. He reported to his first Braves camp three weeks late, having spent the winter in the Army at Fort Jackson and Fort Rucker.
Tyrone Alexander Cline was born June 15, 1939, in Hampton, South Carolina, and signed with the Cleveland Indians on May 31, 1960, for a reported $40,000 after a first-team All-American season at Clemson, where he both patrolled the outfield and pitched. He played twelve major league seasons, 1960 through 1971, mostly as a fast, light-hitting, sure-gloved reserve outfielder and sometime first baseman, for the Indians, the Braves in Milwaukee and Atlanta, the Cubs, the Giants, the Expos and the Reds, finishing with a .238 average, 437 hits and 6 home runs in 892 games. His best year came in 1964 in Milwaukee, when he batted .302 and led the majors with 14 pinch hits. Montreal traded him to Cincinnati for Clyde Mashore on his 31st birthday in June 1970, and that October he tripled and scored the go-ahead run in the opener of the Reds' NLCS sweep of Pittsburgh. His pinch-hit Baltimore chop in Game One of the World Series set the disputed Ken Burkhart call at the plate in motion. He retired after 1971 and ran Baskin-Robbins stores around Charleston, South Carolina, until 2001. The South Carolina Athletic Hall of Fame inducted him in 2009.
