The story on this card
This card recaps the 1963 National League batting race: Tommy Davis of the Dodgers led at .326 for his second straight title, edging Roberto Clemente of the Pirates at .320, with Dick Groat of the Cardinals and Hank Aaron of the Braves close behind at .319 apiece. Davis had won the 1962 crown before repeating in 1963, the year the Dodgers swept the Yankees in the World Series. Groat, the 1960 NL MVP, had joined St. Louis the previous winter in a trade from Pittsburgh, where he won that award as a Pirate. Aaron, already a perennial All-Star, kept pace with his usual power-and-average blend. Card number 7 in the 1964 Topps set is part of the League Leaders subset.
Tommy Davis was the first batting champion the Los Angeles Dodgers produced, and his consecutive National League crowns in 1962 and 1963 stand alone in the club's West Coast history before a broken ankle redirected an eighteen-season, ten-organization career. Pittsburgh's right fielder for eighteen seasons, Roberto Clemente won four National League batting titles and twelve straight Gold Gloves, was the 1966 NL Most Valuable Player and the 1971 World Series MVP, and died flying earthquake relief in 1972. Dick Groat was Pittsburgh's shortstop and table-setter, the 1960 National League batting champion and MVP, a contact hitter who anchored two World Series winners - the 1960 Pirates and the 1964 Cardinals - before finishing up with the Phillies and Giants. Hank Aaron was the Braves' right fielder and one of the greatest hitters in history, a 25-time All-Star who broke Babe Ruth's home run record in 1974 on his way to 755 career homers.
