1967 Topps #291 Jim Hannan
About Jim Hannan
Hannan came north with the club again in 1967 but could not hold his footing; his ERA climbed from 3.44 to 5.40 during May and Washington shipped him back to Hawaii, where this second stint went worse than his 1965 summer there. He finished with only eight big-league appearances and 21 2/3 innings. His standing had slipped so far that Topps left him out of its 1968 set entirely, which makes card #291 - a fourth-series base card in the 1967 issue - his last Topps appearance until 1969.
James John Hannan was a right-handed pitcher from Jersey City, New Jersey, who reached the majors with the expansion Washington Senators in 1962, a few months after Washington used the first pick of the November 1961 first-year player draft to take him out of the Boston Red Sox system. A Notre Dame graduate with a heavy sinking fastball and a hard slider, he spent nine of his ten big-league seasons with Washington, moving between the rotation and the bullpen, and finished 41-48 with a 3.88 ERA in 276 games before closing out 1971 with the Detroit Tigers and Milwaukee Brewers. His best year came in 1968, when he went 10-6 with a 3.01 ERA under manager Jim Lemon. He took a master's degree in finance and investments from New York University in 1965, and the thesis he wrote there on the game's pension plan helped the Players Association cut the service time needed to qualify from five years to four. He later worked as a financial adviser and, in 1982, co-founded the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association, serving as its first president.
