1967 Topps #408 Jim Northrup
About Jim Northrup
1967 Topps #408 comes from the set's fifth print series. With Mickey Stanley emerging as an elite defender, Northrup split time across all three outfield spots in 1967, playing 65 games in left, 94 in center and 39 in right, and hit .271 with 10 home runs and 61 RBI as Detroit fell one game short of the pennant on the season's final day.
Jim Northrup was a left-handed hitting outfielder who spent ten of his twelve big-league seasons with the Detroit Tigers (1964-74), finishing his career with the Montreal Expos and Baltimore Orioles in 1974-75. A streaky, clutch hitter with a short, quick inside-out stroke, he batted .267 for his career with 153 home runs, 610 RBI and 603 runs over 1392 games, playing all three outfield spots plus some first base. He is remembered above all for the 1968 World Series champion Tigers: he hit five grand slams that season, including three in a single week, and drove in the winning runs with a two-run triple off Bob Gibson in Game 7. Northrup grew up in Breckenridge, Michigan, and was a five-sport star at Alma College before signing with Detroit in 1961. After retiring he worked as a Tigers broadcaster and businessman. He was inducted into the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame in 2000. Northrup died in 2011.
