1979 Topps #63 Jack Brohamer
About Jack Brohamer
In 1979 Brohamer played 64 games for Boston, 36 of them at second base and 22 at third. He batted .266 with a home run and 11 RBI. He scored 25 runs on 51 hits in 192 at-bats. Topps listed him as #63 that year, with the Red Sox.
Jack Brohamer was a left-handed-hitting second baseman, with time at third, who played nine seasons from 1972 to 1980 for the Cleveland Indians, Chicago White Sox and Boston Red Sox. Cleveland drafted him in the 34th round in 1967 and he singled in his first big-league at-bat on April 18, 1972. Compared to Eddie Stanky for his short, stocky build and reckless style of play, he was called Scrappy Jack, and The Hammer as a shortening of his surname. Cleveland traded him to the White Sox for Larvell Blanks on December 12, 1975. In Chicago he became the only major leaguer to homer in uniform shorts, on August 21, 1976, during a Bill Veeck promotion. He signed with Boston as a free agent, returned to Cleveland in a June 1980 purchase and finished there. He batted .245 with 30 home runs in 805 games, then became a detective sergeant with the Oceanside, California, police department.
