1968 Topps #324 Jim Nash
About Jim Nash
By 1968 Nash and the Athletics had relocated to Oakland, and card #324 pictures him as part of the franchise's West Coast debut season. He logged a career-high 228.2 innings that year, going 13-13 with a 2.28 ERA and a dozen complete games as a full-time starter. The card comes from the fourth print series of the 1968 Topps set.
Jim Nash was a right-handed pitcher who broke in with the Kansas City Athletics on July 3, 1966 and immediately became part of a young Kansas City rotation. He went 12-1 with a 2.06 ERA over 127 innings as a rookie, finishing second in American League Rookie of the Year voting behind Tommie Agee. Nash appeared on the cover of the March 13, 1967 issue of Sports Illustrated alongside fellow young Athletics arms Catfish Hunter and Blue Moon Odom. He remained a workhorse starter as the franchise moved to Oakland, but recurring shoulder soreness kept him from repeating his early success. He went on to pitch three seasons with the Atlanta Braves and closed his career with the Philadelphia Phillies in 1972. Over seven major league seasons he went 68-64 with a 3.58 ERA in 1,107.1 innings, striking out 771 batters.
