1969 Topps #128 Tommie Aaron
About Tommie Aaron
Number 128 comes out of the second print series of the 1969 set, a plain number. It is his card from the year the Braves took the first National League West title under the new two-division format, and Aaron was part of that club: 49 games, mostly off the bench, 15 hits in 60 at-bats for a .250 average, with 16 games at first base and eight in left. When Atlanta met the Mets in the first National League Championship Series that October, he and Hank became the first siblings to appear in an LCS as teammates. Tommie's share was one game and one hitless at-bat; New York swept in three.
Tommie Lee Aaron was born August 5, 1939, in Mobile, Alabama, and signed with the Milwaukee Braves as an amateur free agent on May 28, 1958, at eighteen. A right-handed hitter and thrower who split his time between first base and left field, he was the younger brother of Hank Aaron; their 768 combined home runs remain the major-league record for a pair of brothers, though Hank hit 755 of them. Tommie reached the majors on April 10, 1962, and spent the next decade shuttling between the Braves and the minors, winning International League Most Valuable Player honors with Richmond in 1967. Over seven big-league seasons he batted .229 with 13 home runs, 94 RBI and 102 runs in 437 games, and drew praise for his glove work at first base, where he finished at .990. He managed in the Braves farm system through the 1970s, joined the Atlanta coaching staff in 1979, and was still on it when he died of leukemia in Atlanta on August 16, 1984, eleven days past his 45th birthday. Richmond later named its team MVP award for him, and the franchise's Triple-A club, now the Gwinnett Stripers, retired his number 23.
