1967 Topps #229 Larry Jackson
About Larry Jackson
Slotted behind Jim Bunning and Chris Short, Jackson turned in a 13-15 season with a 3.10 ERA over 261 2/3 innings - the won-lost line again undersold the work. On June 20 he shut out the Mets on one hit, a second-inning double by Tommy Davis, for his eighteenth straight win over New York dating back to the franchise's very first game in 1962. That same season his 171st career victory moved him past Bill Doak as the winningest National League right-hander of the century never to pitch for a pennant winner. Card 229 is a third-series Phillies issue.
Lawrence Curtis Jackson, born June 2, 1931 in Nampa, Idaho, was a right-handed pitcher who spent 14 major league seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals, Chicago Cubs, and Philadelphia Phillies from 1955 to 1968. A junior college All-American tailback at Boise Junior College, he signed with the Cardinals in 1951 and reached St. Louis in 1955. He was an All-Star in 1957, 1958, 1960 and 1963 - the first Idaho native so honored, which moved the state's governor to send a sack of potatoes to every National Leaguer - and he won at least 13 games in each of his last 12 seasons. His best year came in 1964 with the Cubs: 24-11 with a 3.14 ERA and runner-up in the Cy Young voting. He retired with a 194-183 record, a 3.40 ERA and 1,709 strikeouts, the most National League wins since 1900 by any right-hander who never played for a first-place team. Rather than report to the expansion Montreal Expos, he went home to Boise, served four terms in the Idaho Legislature and ran for governor in 1978. The Idaho Athletic Hall of Fame elected him in 1971 and Boise State's athletic hall in 1982. He died in Boise on August 28, 1990.
