1964 Topps #352 Eddie Bressoud
About Eddie Bressoud
Card #352, a fourth-series issue in the 1964 set, reports a power year: 20 home runs in 1963, more than any other American League shortstop hit that season, with a .260 average, 23 doubles and 60 RBI in 140 games. He had four two-homer games along the way. That 20 stood as his career best - he never hit more than 15 in any other season - and it came in his second year as Boston's everyday shortstop, at the end of a summer that kept his average under .250 until a strong finish pulled it up.
Eddie Bressoud (born Edward Francis Bressoud) was a shortstop who played twelve major league seasons, 1956-1967, with the New York and San Francisco Giants, Boston Red Sox, New York Mets and St. Louis Cardinals. A Los Angeles native signed by the Giants out of George Washington High School in 1950, he served in the Marine Corps from January 1953 to January 1955 before debuting on June 14, 1956. Houston made him the first pick of the October 1961 expansion draft and dealt him to Boston that November for Don Buddin, and his bat came alive in Fenway Park: a career-high 68 RBI in 1962, 20 home runs in 1963, and in 1964 a .293 average and the lone All-Star nod of his career. He went to the Mets after the 1965 season and to St. Louis on April 1, 1967, finishing on the Cardinals' championship club before spending 24 years teaching and coaching at De Anza College, where he took over the baseball program that same fall. He retired with a .252 average, 94 home runs and 365 RBI across 1,186 games, 1,002 of them at shortstop.
