1965 Topps #574 Roy Sievers
About Roy Sievers
1965 Topps #574 sits in the seventh series, a high number inside the short-print zone, and it is the last of his Topps cards from the 1960s. Washington re-signed him in April 1965 and released him in May after 21 at-bats: 12 games, four hits, no home runs. His last big-league appearance came on May 9 as a pinch-hitter, and he retired that midsummer after tryouts with the White Sox and the Cardinals came up empty. Wearing this uniform made him one of only nine men to play for both the original and the expansion Washington Senators.
Roy Sievers was a right-handed slugging first baseman and left fielder from St. Louis who broke in with the St. Louis Browns in 1949 and won the first American League Rookie of the Year award, batting .306 with 16 home runs and 91 RBI. A shoulder he wrecked in the minors in 1951 nearly finished him; surgery at Johns Hopkins and a shift to first base saved the career. Baltimore traded him to the Washington Senators for Gil Coan in February 1954, before he ever played a game for the Orioles, and he became the best bat on a chronically bad club. His signature year was 1957: he led the American League in home runs (42), RBI (114) and total bases (331) while hitting .301, and finished third in the MVP vote. He made the American League All-Star team in four seasons: 1956, 1957, 1959 and 1961. Chicago, Philadelphia and the expansion Senators carried him to 318 home runs, 1,703 hits and 1,147 RBI over 17 seasons. He later coached for the Cincinnati Reds, managed in the minor leagues, and was inducted into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame and the St. Louis Sports Hall of Fame.

Frequently asked questions
What is the 1965 Topps #574 card?
It is card #574 of the 598-card 1965 Topps Baseball set, picturing Roy Sievers of the Washington Senators.
Is 1965 Topps #574 a scarce card?
It is a high number card from the seventh and last series, #507-598. Unlike most 1960s Topps sets the 1965 highs are not scarce as a run - the premium sits on the short-printed cards inside #523-598. It is also a short-print zone card. Forty-four of the 76 cards in #523-598 were short-printed; #507-522 was not. The zone is stated as a range because the catalogs disagree on exactly which cards, so no single card is marked.
How many cards are in the 1965 Topps Baseball set?
598 cards, tracked as 600 collectible states. Numbers run from 1 to 598 with no gaps and no printed-number collisions, and two checklist cards - #79 and #508 - carry catalogued print variations that the master set counts separately.
