1967 Topps #607 Mickey Stanley
About Mickey Stanley
In 1967, with Detroit in a tight pennant race that ended one game behind Boston, Stanley appeared in 145 games, 129 of them in center field. His batting average fell sharply to .210 after his strong 1966 season. This card, #607 in the seventh print series, is a high number showing him with the Tigers.
Mitchell Jack Stanley grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan, starring in baseball, basketball, and football at Ottawa Hills High School before signing with the Detroit Tigers in 1960. He spent four minor league seasons, including a stint alongside future Tiger outfield mates Jim Northrup and Willie Horton, before debuting in September 1964. Stanley became Detroit's regular center fielder and developed into one of the game's finest defenders, winning four Gold Glove Awards and finishing his career ranked among the all-time leaders in outfield fielding percentage. His signature moment came in 1968, when manager Mayo Smith shifted him from center field to shortstop, a position he had never played professionally, so all three power-hitting outfielders could stay in the lineup for the World Series; Detroit won the championship over St. Louis. Stanley played all 15 of his major league seasons with the Tigers, retiring after 1978, then became a builder and real estate developer in Livingston County, Michigan.
