The story on this card
Hutton, a South Pasadena High School product, had already reached the majors, appearing in three games for the Dodgers in September 1966 while working through the farm system. Card #428 is a Rookie Stars issue from the fifth print series, pairing Hutton with fellow Dodgers farmhand Gene Michael. It is a recognized rookie card for Hutton, who returned to the Dodgers roster in 1969 as a reserve first baseman. A slick-fielding first baseman and part-time outfielder who hit .309 as a Phillies pinch hitter in 1977, then spent decades as a color analyst for the Expos, Yankees, Blue Jays and Marlins broadcasts.
Traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers that December along with third baseman Bob Bailey in the deal that sent Maury Wills to Pittsburgh, Michael became the Dodgers' regular shortstop to open 1967, starting 52 of the club's first 53 games before a slump cut into his playing time. This Topps card, a recognized rookie card issued in the fifth series, pictures him on a multi-player Rookie Stars subset shared with fellow Dodgers prospect Tom Hutton. Slick-fielding shortstop nicknamed Stick who played for the Pirates, Dodgers, Yankees and Tigers before later managing the Yankees and Cubs and building the Yankees' 1990s dynasty as GM.
