1964 Topps #165 Jerry Lumpe
About Jerry Lumpe
Card #165, a series-2 base issue, is Lumpe's first Topps card as a Detroit Tiger, following the November 18, 1963, swap that sent him, Dave Wickersham and Ed Rakow east for Rocky Colavito, Bob Anderson and $50,000. The card reports his last Kansas City season: a .271 average, 161 hits and 59 RBI over 157 games in 1963.
Jerry Dean Lumpe (born June 2, 1933, in Lincoln, Missouri; died August 15, 2014, in Springfield, Missouri) was a left-handed-hitting infielder who played 12 major-league seasons, 1956-1967, for the New York Yankees, Kansas City Athletics and Detroit Tigers. He came up as a shortstop and third baseman, started three games at third base in each of the Yankees' 1957 and 1958 World Series, and took a ring when New York beat Milwaukee in 1958. A May 26, 1959, trade to Kansas City, which sent him with Johnny Kucks and Tom Sturdivant for Ralph Terry and Hector Lopez, finally handed him a regular job; by 1960 he was the Athletics' everyday second baseman, and his best hitting followed. He moved to Detroit in the five-player deal that sent Rocky Colavito to Kansas City, held the Tigers' second-base job through the mid-1960s and was an American League All-Star in 1964. Released in October 1967, he retired with a .268 average, 1,314 hits and 47 home runs in 1,371 games, coached first base for the 1971 Oakland Athletics, later worked in banking and insurance, and entered the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame in 1994.
