1967 Topps #189 Chuck Hinton
About Chuck Hinton
1967 Topps #189, a second-series card, is the last from Hinton's first Cleveland stretch. He drew his heaviest workload of those three years, 147 games and 498 at-bats, but the production thinned to .245 with 10 home runs and 37 RBI. He never took to the city the way he had to Washington either, and later wrote about the cold, about Municipal Stadium drawing the smallest crowds in the American League, and about the railroad crossing that kept making him miss flights. On November 29 the Indians traded him to the California Angels for outfielder Jose Cardenal.
Charles Edward Hinton Jr. (1934-2013) was born in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, played three sports at Shaw University, and signed with the Baltimore Orioles in 1956 after hitchhiking to an open tryout at Griffith Stadium. He won back-to-back Class C batting titles at Aberdeen in 1959 and Stockton in 1960, and the new Washington club took him with the 46th pick of the December 1960 expansion draft. A right-handed hitter who eventually played every position except pitcher, Hinton was the first African American player to star for the Washington Senators, and he later spent six seasons with the Cleveland Indians and one with the California Angels. Over eleven years he batted .264 with 1,048 hits, 113 home runs and 443 RBI in 1,353 games, and he remains the last Washington Senator to bat .300. He coached Howard University baseball from 1972 to 2000, leading the Bison to their first Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference championship, and in 1982 he helped found the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association with Brooks Robinson and two former Washington teammates. He died in Washington, D.C., in 2013 and is honored on the Washington Hall of Stars at RFK Stadium.
