1971 Topps #322 Jim Beauchamp
About Jim Beauchamp
Beauchamp split 1970 between Houston and St. Louis, hitting .238 in 75 games. He hit .192 in 29 plate appearances as an Astros bench bat before the Cardinals acquired him on June 13, with Leon McFadden, for pitcher George Culver, then hit .259 in 44 games for St. Louis. His #322 is a third-series card with the Cardinals.
James Edward Beauchamp was a power-hitting first baseman and outfielder from Vinita and Grove, Oklahoma, signed by the St. Louis Cardinals out of Oklahoma State in 1958 and named the 1963 Texas League MVP after hitting .337 with 31 home runs and 105 RBI for the Tulsa Oilers. Injuries, including a dislocated shoulder that damaged his throwing arm, slowed a career that stretched across ten major league seasons and five organizations: the Cardinals, Colt .45s/Astros, Braves, Reds and Mets. He appeared in the 1973 World Series with New York. After retiring as a player he spent decades as a minor league manager and as the Atlanta Braves' bench coach and outfield coordinator, putting 50 years in the game in all.
