1970 Topps #6 Grant Jackson
About Grant Jackson
The Phillies were rebuilding under new manager Frank Lucchesi in 1970, and Jackson slid to 5-15 with a 5.29 ERA in 32 games, 23 of them starts. Disagreements with Lucchesi helped make him available, and that December Philadelphia sent him with Jim Hutto and Sam Parrilla to the Orioles for Roger Freed. His card #6 is in the first series and lists him with the 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 earned his only All-Star selection in 1969 as a Phillies starter. After a trade to the Baltimore Orioles he became a relief specialist, going 8-0 with a 1.90 ERA in 1973. A mid-season 1976 trade sent him to the New York Yankees, 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. His repertoire featured a sinking fastball, a slider, a curveball and a changeup.
