The story on this card
Card 219 is the 1965 National League RBI Leaders board, part of Topps' 1966 league-leaders subset in the third print series. Deron Johnson led the league with an MLB-best 130 RBI for the Reds, hitting .287 with 32 home runs and finishing fourth in NL MVP voting; Pete Rose later said he had never seen anyone hit a ball harder than Johnson. Frank Robinson was next with 113 RBI and 33 home runs for the Reds before that winter's trade to Baltimore, where he won the Triple Crown the following year. Willie Mays rounded out the trio with 112 RBI, a league-leading 52 home runs and a .317 average for the Giants, earning his second NL Most Valuable Player award. Robinson and Johnson are pictured for the Reds and Mays for the Giants, framed by the leaders banner.
Deron Johnson, the San Diego slugger once billed as the next Mickey Mantle, drove in a National League-best 130 runs for Cincinnati in 1965, later set his career high of 34 home runs with the Phillies, and won a ring with Oakland's 1973 champions. Frank Robinson - Cincinnati's 1961 National League MVP, then Baltimore's 1966 American League Triple Crown winner, MVP and World Series MVP after one of baseball's most lopsided trades; nicknamed "the Judge," he later became the majors' first Black manager. Willie Mays was the Say Hey Kid, the five-tool center fielder of the New York and San Francisco Giants: Rookie of the Year in 1951, Most Valuable Player in 1954 and 1965, twelve straight Gold Gloves, 660 home runs, Hall of Fame in 1979.
