1969 Topps #204 Jack Hiatt
About Jack Hiatt
1969 Topps #204, from the set's second print series, is a solo card of Hiatt with the San Francisco Giants. He took over as the Giants' starting catcher after Dick Dietz was hurt, producing an April power surge that included a walk-off grand slam against Houston.
Jack Hiatt was a catcher who broke in with the Los Angeles Angels in September 1964 before settling in with the San Francisco Giants, where he spent the bulk of his nine big league seasons. Signed as an undrafted free agent out of Los Angeles Pierce College, he split his defensive work between catcher and first base, backing up Tom Haller and later Dick Dietz. His most productive stretch came in April 1969, when a hand injury sidelined Dietz and Hiatt stepped into the lineup, homering twice and driving in seven runs in a 13-inning win over Houston that included a walk-off grand slam. Giants manager Clyde King praised his work handling pitches in the dirt. After 1969 his playing time faded; he closed his career with Montreal, the Cubs, Houston and the Angels through 1972. He went on to manage in the minors for four organizations and later spent sixteen years as the Giants' director of player development.
