1966 Topps #332 Billy Bryan
About Billy Bryan
Card 332 in the 1966 set is a fourth-series card, and it shows Bryan in the Kansas City uniform he wore for the first half of that season. On June 10, 1966, the Athletics sent him and pitcher Fred Talbot to the New York Yankees for Gil Blanco, Roger Repoz and Bill Stafford. He had struggled badly before the deal, hitting .132 in 32 games for Kansas City, and hit .217 with four home runs in 27 games after it. Both clubs also tried him at first base that year, three games each, the only work he ever did away from catcher.
William Ronald Bryan, a left-handed hitting catcher from Morgan, Georgia, signed with the Kansas City Athletics as an amateur free agent in 1960 and reached the majors barely a year later, debuting on September 12, 1961. A tall backstop at 6-foot-4 and 200 pounds, he spent parts of six seasons with Kansas City, splitting the catching between 1962 and 1964 with Doc Edwards, Charlie Lau and Joe Azcue before taking the regular job. A June 1966 trade sent him to the New York Yankees, where he worked behind Elston Howard and Jake Gibbs, and the Washington Senators took him from New York in the Rule 5 draft after the 1967 season for his final big league year. Over eight seasons and 374 games he hit .216 with 209 hits, 41 home runs and 125 RBI, throwing out 47 base stealers and fielding .984 behind the plate. He died on April 9, 2026 in Opelika, Alabama, at the age of 87.
