1967 Topps #591 Ty Cline
About Ty Cline
At #591 this card is a seventh-series high number, and it caught Cline back with the Braves after a season that bounced him twice. He opened 1966 with five hits in five trips in the Cubs' first win, April 14 at San Francisco, then never got another hit for Chicago; the Cubs landed Adolfo Phillips and Ferguson Jenkins from the Phillies on April 21 and shipped Cline to Richmond, and Durocher would not even see him when he came to Wrigley Field to clear out. Atlanta bought him back July 26, manager Billy Hitchcock moved his grip out to his fingertips, and between the two clubs he hit .273 in 49 games.
Tyrone Alexander Cline was born June 15, 1939, in Hampton, South Carolina, and signed with the Cleveland Indians on May 31, 1960, for a reported $40,000 after a first-team All-American season at Clemson, where he both patrolled the outfield and pitched. He played twelve major league seasons, 1960 through 1971, mostly as a fast, light-hitting, sure-gloved reserve outfielder and sometime first baseman, for the Indians, the Braves in Milwaukee and Atlanta, the Cubs, the Giants, the Expos and the Reds, finishing with a .238 average, 437 hits and 6 home runs in 892 games. His best year came in 1964 in Milwaukee, when he batted .302 and led the majors with 14 pinch hits. Montreal traded him to Cincinnati for Clyde Mashore on his 31st birthday in June 1970, and that October he tripled and scored the go-ahead run in the opener of the Reds' NLCS sweep of Pittsburgh. His pinch-hit Baltimore chop in Game One of the World Series set the disputed Ken Burkhart call at the plate in motion. He retired after 1971 and ran Baskin-Robbins stores around Charleston, South Carolina, until 2001. The South Carolina Athletic Hall of Fame inducted him in 2009.
