1967 Topps #346 Jim Hickman
About Jim Hickman
Card #346, a fourth-series issue, is Hickman's lone Topps card in Dodger blue, printed after New York sent him and Ron Hunt to Los Angeles on November 29, 1966, for Tommy Davis and Derrell Griffith. He went out as the last man from the original 1962 Opening Day roster still with the Mets. The card reports the season that ended that run: a left wrist broken on a catch attempt in right field at Shea Stadium on May 13, 1966, put him on the disabled list from May 14 to August 7 and held him to 58 games, .238, four home runs and 16 RBI. He blamed the break on his habit of hooking his index finger outside the glove.
James Lucius Hickman, an outfielder and first baseman known as "Gentleman Jim," was born May 10, 1937, in Henning, Tennessee, and signed with the St. Louis Cardinals before the 1956 season. Six years in their farm system later, the expansion New York Mets claimed him with their 18th selection in the October 10, 1961, expansion draft, out of the $50,000 price tier. He spent five seasons in New York before trades took him to Los Angeles and then, in April 1968, to Chicago. At 33 he put together his career year for the 1970 Cubs: .315 with 32 home runs and 115 RBI, his only All-Star selection, and The Sporting News Comeback Player of the Year award, the first won by a Cub. His 12th-inning single at Riverfront Stadium scored Pete Rose with the winning run in that All-Star Game. St. Louis waived him in July 1974, closing a 13-year career at .252 with 159 home runs and 560 RBI in 1,421 games. He spent two decades as a Cincinnati Reds minor-league hitting instructor, entered the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame in 1996, and died June 25, 2016, in Jackson, Tennessee.
