1964 Topps #114 Don Lock
About Don Lock
Card #114, a second-series issue, covers Lock's first full season, 1963, when he took over center field for Washington from Jimmy Piersall and hit 27 home runs with 82 RBI and a .252 average, leading the last-place Senators in both. He also led American League center fielders in putouts, assists and double plays, and won two games with extra-inning home runs: a 13th-inning grand slam on May 8 and a 14th-inning solo shot on May 12.
Don Wilson Lock, born July 27, 1936, in Wichita, Kansas, played eight major league seasons, 1962 through 1969, as an outfielder for the Washington Senators, Philadelphia Phillies and Boston Red Sox. A basketball scholarship athlete at Wichita State, he signed with the Yankees in March 1958 for a $12,500 bonus, then led the Carolina League in home runs and RBI with Greensboro in 1959 and the Eastern League in both with Binghamton in 1960. Washington acquired him out of New York's farm system in July 1962 for first baseman Dale Long, and he grew into the Senators' center fielder and their biggest power source. He moved to Philadelphia for 1967 and to Boston for a last half-season in 1969, finishing with a .238 average, 122 home runs and 373 RBI in 921 games. Lock later managed in the minors from 1971 into 1973, farmed the family land in Kansas, and was inducted into the Wichita State basketball and baseball halls of fame, the Wichita Sports Hall of Fame and the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame before his death in Wichita on October 8, 2017.
