The story on this card
This team card reports the 1963 Kansas City Athletics, who finished eighth in the American League at 73-89 under manager Ed Lopat, well behind the Yankees. Card number 151 belongs to print series two of the 1964 Topps set and shows a posed team photo beneath the club name. The 1963 roster included Tony La Russa, later a Hall of Fame manager, then a young Kansas City infielder. The Athletics were still playing in Kansas City's Municipal Stadium under owner Charlie Finley, a rebuilding club mixing veterans with prospects the front office hoped would turn the franchise around before the eventual move to Oakland.
