Athletics Card of the Day

Mike Hershberger

Mike came into the Oakland organization via a complicated three team trade that involved eight players. For the fourth season in a row, Mike improved offensively at the plate. In 1967, the outfielder was second on the team in doubles and third on the club in basehits and runs batted in. Mike once led the I.I.I. League with 21 triples!

Back to the Front! Athletics card back du jour...

Tim Talton, Ramon Webster

In a brief shot with the Athletics' last year, Tim hit .340. A good hitter in the minors, this 6'3" backstop batted .329 for Springfield in 1960. Tim again topped the .300 mark at El Paso in '62, where he hit .310! This 24 year old rookie has hit over .300 for three minor league clubs since 1963. Last year, while his average dipped to .283, Ramon displayed his best power. Then, he hit 20 homers for Vancouver.
