The story on this card
Card 151 in the 1965 Topps set is the team card for the Kansas City Athletics, part of print series two - not a high number and not a semi-high either. It reports a hard 1964 season: the club finished tenth and last in the American League at 57-105-1, 42 games behind the pennant-winning Yankees. Owner Charlie Finley fired manager Ed Lopat in June, with the team sitting at 17-35, and promoted coach Mel McGaha, who went 40-70-1 the rest of the way. The back's 1964 leader lines credit Rocky Colavito with 34 home runs and 102 RBIs and Wayne Causey with a .281 average.
