1969 Topps #174 Grant Jackson
About Grant Jackson
1969 was Jackson's best season as a Phillies starter: a 14-18 record with a sinking fastball, slider, curveball and changeup that earned him his only All-Star selection, at Washington's RFK Stadium, though he did not appear in the game. His card, number 174, runs in print series 2 with the Philadelphia Phillies.
Grant Jackson was a left-handed pitcher who spent eighteen seasons in the majors, debuting with the Philadelphia Phillies in 1965 and finishing with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1982. Signed out of Fostoria, Ohio by Phillies scout Tony Lucadello, he broke into the rotation as a starter before reinventing himself as a bullpen specialist with the Baltimore Orioles. He earned his only All-Star selection in 1969 while still a Phillies starter, then went 8-0 with a 1.90 ERA for Baltimore in 1973. A mid-season 1976 trade sent him to the New York Yankees for a pennant race, and he later helped Pittsburgh win the 1979 World Series, picking up the win in Game Seven. He also pitched for the Montreal Expos and Kansas City Royals, closing out a career built on a sinking fastball and a durable arm out of the bullpen.
