About this card

Each card lists the 1965 leaders in one statistical category, the National League card first and the American League card second in each pair.
The story on this card
Card 220 in the 1966 Topps set is a League Leaders subset card, part of the set's third print series, saluting the American League's top RBI men from 1965: Rocky Colavito of the Cleveland Indians, Willie Horton of the Detroit Tigers, and Tony Oliva of the Minnesota Twins. Colavito led the league with 108 RBI and 93 walks, earning his eighth All-Star selection and a fifth-place finish in the MVP vote. Horton, in his first full season as Detroit's regular left fielder, broke out with a .273 average, 29 homers, and 104 RBI, good for his first All-Star trip. Oliva, riding back-to-back batting titles, hit .321 with 98 RBI for a Twins club that won the 1965 AL pennant.
A nine-time All-Star with one of the great throwing arms of his era, Rocky Colavito tied for the 1959 American League home run crown, homered four straight times in one game that June, and led the league in RBI for Cleveland in 1965. Willie Horton - Detroit's hometown slugger, Willie the Wonder combined raw power with a Game 5 throw that helped turn the 1968 World Series during an eighteen-year, 325-homer career. Tony Oliva - Minnesota's smooth-swinging Cuban right fielder, the 1964 American League Rookie of the Year and a three-time batting champion who made the All-Star team in each of his first eight full seasons before knee injuries took over; Cooperstown called in December 2021.
