1974 Topps #591 Sonny Jackson
About Sonny Jackson
Card #591 in the 1974 Topps set shows Sonny Jackson with the Braves. He got into five games for Atlanta in 1974, hitting .429 with three hits in seven at-bats, and appeared in the outfield in one of them. His last major league game came on July 9, 1974, his birthday.
Roland Thomas Jackson, known as Sonny Jackson, was a left-handed hitting, right-handed throwing shortstop who spent twelve major league seasons with Houston and Atlanta between 1963 and 1974. Born July 9, 1944, in Washington, D.C., and listed at 5-foot-9 and 150 pounds, he debuted for the Houston Colt .45's on September 27, 1963 and got scattered at-bats over the next two seasons. Although he had appeared in parts of three earlier seasons, he qualified as a rookie in 1966, when he hit .292, led the National League with 160 singles and stole 49 bases to tie the major league rookie record Rollie Zeider set in 1910. Houston kept him at shortstop through 1967, and he spent the rest of his career with the Atlanta Braves. He was the Braves shortstop when Atlanta won the 1969 National League West, though the New York Mets swept the three-game NLCS. Over 936 games he hit .251 and stole 126 bases. He stayed in the game afterward as a minor league coach and manager in the Braves and San Francisco Giants organizations and as a coach with the Giants.
