About this card
Every club has a manager card of its own this year, separate from the 24 team cards, and every one of the 24 manager cards pictures the manager alone. Nine of them are Hall of Famers, and #510 Ted Williams manages the Texas Rangers in their first season after the move from Washington.
About Lum Harris
Harris's #484 card, in the manager subset of the fourth series of 1972 Topps, carries an uncorrected error: it gives his second-place Manager of the Year finish as 1970, when it came in 1969. With the Braves at 47-57 in 1972, Eddie Mathews replaced him on August 6.
Chalmer Luman Harris, known as Lum, was a right-handed pitcher who spent six seasons in the majors with the Philadelphia Athletics (1941-1944, 1946) and Washington Senators (1947), compiling a 35-63 record. He missed 1945 while serving in the Navy during World War II. After his playing career wound down in the minors, Harris became a longtime coach and confidant of manager Paul Richards, following him to the Chicago White Sox, Baltimore Orioles, and Houston Colt .45s as a third-base coach. He got his first managerial chance late in 1961, guiding the Orioles to a 17-10 finish, then took over the Houston Colt .45s in September 1964 and managed the club through its 1965 rebrand as the Astros. He later managed the Atlanta Braves from 1968 into 1972, leading them to the first National League West Division title in 1969 before falling to the Mets in the NLCS.
