1972 Topps #212 Grant Jackson
About Grant Jackson
Jackson made all 32 of his 1972 appearances out of the Baltimore bullpen and saved eight games. He finished 1-1 with a 2.63 ERA in 41 innings. After the All-Star break he saved four games and allowed four earned runs in 17 appearances. His #212 in the second series pictures him with the Orioles.
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.
