1970 Topps #38 Mack Jones
About Mack Jones
Jones hit .270 with 22 home runs and 79 RBI for the 1969 Expos in their first season. He played 135 games and scored 73 runs. His 1970 was shorter, with 14 home runs and 32 RBI in 108 games. His #38, a first-series card, lists him with Montreal.
Mack Jones was signed by the Milwaukee Braves in 1958 out of Atlanta amateur ball, and the left-handed-hitting, right-throwing outfielder reached the majors on July 13, 1961 at age 22, tying a modern National League record with four hits in his first game. He played for the Milwaukee and Atlanta Braves (1961-1967), the Cincinnati Reds (1968) and the Montreal Expos (1969-1971), moving from center field to left field in August 1967. A .317, 39-homer season at Triple-A Syracuse in 1964 brought him back to a career-high 31 home runs in 1965. Taken by Montreal in the October 1968 expansion draft, he was an immediate favorite there, hitting the first home run struck in a major-league regular-season game in Canada and lending his name to the left-field bleachers at Jarry Park that fans called Jonesville. Nicknamed Mack the Knife after the 1959 Bobby Darin hit, he closed ten major-league seasons at .252 with 133 home runs and 415 RBI, and was inducted into the International League Hall of Fame in 2013.
