1967 Topps #483 Jim Landis
About Jim Landis
The last Topps card of Landis, #483, is a series-6 card showing him as a Houston Astro after the Indians shipped him south on January 4, 1967 with Doc Edwards and Jim Weaver for Lee Maye and Ken Retzer. Behind it sits a thin 1966 in Cleveland: 85 games, a .222 average, three home runs, 14 RBI. He would wear three uniforms that summer and bow out in a five-game August stint with the Red Sox.
Jim Landis signed with the Chicago White Sox as an amateur free agent in 1952 out of Contra Costa Junior College, then spent 1954 and 1955 in the U.S. Army in Alaska before debuting in the majors on April 16, 1957. A slick-fielding center fielder, he anchored Chicago's outfield through the "Go-Go Sox" era, batting .272 in 1959 as the White Sox won the American League pennant, then hitting .292 across all six games of the World Series loss to the Dodgers. Landis won five consecutive Gold Glove Awards from 1960 through 1964 and led American League center fielders in double plays three times, retiring with a .989 career outfield fielding average that stood second only to Jimmy Piersall among outfielders of his day. His lone All-Star selection came in 1962, and his best offensive season, 1961, produced career highs of a .283 average, 22 home runs and 85 RBI. Chicago traded him to Kansas City in January 1965, and he closed an eleven-year career with stops in Cleveland, Houston, Detroit and Boston, playing his final game on August 27, 1967. He finished with a .247 average, 93 home runs, 467 RBI and 139 stolen bases, was named to the White Sox Team of the Century in 2000, and died on October 7, 2017, in Napa, California.
