1967 Topps #110 Jack Aker
About Jack Aker
1967 was a turbulent season for Aker off the mound as well as on it. As the Athletics' player representative, he publicly backed manager Alvin Dark and pitcher Lew Krause against owner Charles Finley, a stand that led to Finley firing Dark and fining Aker. On the field his numbers slipped to a 3-8 record and 4.30 ERA over 57 relief appearances in the club's final season in Kansas City. He appears on 1967 Topps #110, in the second series.
Jackie Delane Aker was a side-arming sinkerballer who spent eleven seasons in the majors as a relief pitcher, breaking in with the Kansas City Athletics in 1964. A standout at the College of Sequoias before signing with the A's organization in 1959, Aker worked his way up through the minors as a starter before the club converted him into a full-time reliever. He is of Potawatomi ancestry and carried the nickname "Chief" through his playing career. Aker also pitched for the Seattle Pilots, New York Yankees, Chicago Cubs, Atlanta Braves, and New York Mets. As the Athletics' player representative during the 1967 labor dispute with owner Charles Finley, he became a central figure in one of the era's most public front-office conflicts. After retiring, he managed in the minor leagues for a decade, then went on to teach baseball skills to children for two decades, including at-risk Native American youth on southwestern reservations, work that earned him a Giant Steps Award from President Bill Clinton in 1997.
