1967 Topps #356 Larry Jaster
About Larry Jaster
This 1967 Topps #356 card, from print series 4, is Larry Jaster's rookie card, arriving on the heels of his standout 1966 season with five shutouts against the Dodgers. In 1967 itself Jaster made 34 appearances for St. Louis, 23 as a starter, going 9-7 with a 3.01 ERA over 152.1 innings, and he pitched in relief for the Cardinals in that fall's World Series win over the Boston Red Sox.
Larry Jaster was a left-handed pitcher from Midland, Michigan, who reached the majors with the St. Louis Cardinals in September 1965 after a bonus-baby signing and a bumpy minor league climb that once had him threatening to quit. He broke out as a 1966 rookie, going 11-5 and famously shutting out the pennant-winning Los Angeles Dodgers five straight times, a feat that had not been done consecutively in the post-1900 era and drew praise from Sandy Koufax. Jaster remained a Cardinals starter through 1968, pitched in relief in both the 1967 and 1968 World Series, then was taken by Montreal in the 1968 expansion draft. On April 14, 1969, he threw the first pitch in a major league regular-season game played in Canada. He closed his career with the Atlanta Braves in 1972 and later worked as a minor league pitching coach and coordinator.
