1965 Topps #33 Jackie Brandt
About Jackie Brandt
The 1965 set opens with Brandt at #33, a first-series card reporting 1964: .243 with 127 hits, 13 home runs, 47 RBI and 66 runs in 137 games, 130 of them in center field, the most he logged there in any Baltimore season. On September 12 that year at Memorial Stadium he drove in the only run of a rare duel of complete-game one-hitters, Orioles left-hander Frank Bertaina against Kansas City southpaw Bob Meyer.
Jackie Brandt (born April 28, 1934, in Omaha, Nebraska) signed with the St. Louis Cardinals as an amateur free agent in 1953, debuted on April 21, 1956, and moved that same year to the New York Giants, staying with the franchise through its shift to San Francisco. He won the 1959 National League Gold Glove as the Giants' left fielder, in an outfield that also honored Willie Mays in center. Traded to Baltimore for 1960, he was the Orioles' regular center fielder for five seasons before Paul Blair took the job in 1965. He made the American League All-Star team in 1961 and set career highs of 19 home runs and 75 RBI in 1962. Baltimore sent him and Darold Knowles to the Phillies for Jack Baldschun on December 6, 1965, and he finished in 1967 with Houston. Over 11 seasons he batted .262 with 1,020 hits, 112 home runs and 485 RBI in 1,221 games, nicknamed 'Flakey' for a famously distracted, unpredictable style.
