1967 Topps #181 Terry Fox
About Terry Fox
#181 is Fox's only Topps card in a Phillies uniform, a second-series number. It reached collectors after he was already out of the majors. Detroit used him four times in 1966, 10 innings and a 6.30 ERA, then sold his contract to Philadelphia on May 10. He went 3-2 with four saves in 36 outings for Gene Mauch's 87-75 fourth-place club, last pitched September 25, and spent 1967 in the Pacific Coast League.
Terry Fox was a right-handed relief pitcher who spent seven major league seasons, 1960 through 1966, with the Milwaukee Braves, Detroit Tigers and Philadelphia Phillies. Born July 31, 1935, in Chicago and raised in Midlothian, he graduated from Thornton Township High School in Harvey, Illinois, in 1953 and took a Class C contract from the Atlanta Crackers after four tryout camps; the Braves picked him out of the Atlanta organization at no cost after the 1955 season. Two summers with the New Iberia Pelicans of the Evangeline League made his name, 13-4 in the first and 21-12 in the second, and Atlanta, Jacksonville, Topeka, Austin and Sacramento followed before Milwaukee called him up in September 1960. That December the Braves shipped him to Detroit with Bill Bruton, Dick Brown and Chuck Cottier for Frank Bolling and Neil Chrisley, and he became the Tigers' late-inning man for five seasons, leading the club in saves in 1961, 1962, 1963 and 1965. He never started a major league game: all 248 of his appearances came out of the bullpen, and he finished 29-19 with a 2.99 ERA, 59 saves and 185 strikeouts. Fox settled in New Iberia, married Loreauville native Shirley Dugas and spent 26 years with Texaco starting in 1968.
