1967 Topps #80 Jim Maloney
About Jim Maloney
#80 is a first-series number in the 1967 set - a regular card. Maloney was working on cortisone shots and extra days between starts by now, with 19-year-old Gary Nolan arriving to crowd him for top billing on the staff. He went 15-11 with a 3.25 ERA and 153 strikeouts in 196 1/3 innings, well off his peak rate. On August 16 against Pittsburgh he took himself out after six and a third hitless innings, unable to push off an ankle he had hurt running the bases - the second time in his career he left a game while working on a no-hitter.
James William Maloney was born in Fresno, California, on June 2, 1940, and was scouted as a shortstop by all sixteen major league clubs before Reds scout Bobby Mattick talked him into pitching. He signed with Cincinnati on April 1, 1959 for a reported $100,000 bonus and reached the majors on July 27, 1960, still 20 years old. Over twelve seasons with the Reds (1960-1970) and the California Angels (1971) he went 134-84 with a 3.19 ERA and 1,605 strikeouts, throwing 74 complete games, 30 of them shutouts. He struck out more than 200 batters every year from 1963 through 1966, threw two no-hitters, and lost a third no-hit bid in the eleventh inning. Chronic arm and shoulder trouble wore him down, and a ruptured Achilles tendon suffered running out a ground ball early in 1970 finished him as a winning pitcher just as the Big Red Machine was taking shape. He retired in 1972 at 32 and was elected in 1973 to the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame, the club's own honor.
