1961 Topps Traded Don Larsen

A few months ago I posted a 1967 Don Larsen card in a Cubs uniform. He also played on the South side of town. In June of 1961 he was traded from the Kansas City Athletics to the White Sox in an 8 man trade. By November he was traded to the Giants as part of a 6 man trade. As a result he never appeared on a Topps card as a White Sox player. In 1961 his card had him on the Athletics and in 1962 his card had him on the Giants. 

1967 Topps Don Larsen

Don Larsen is best known as the only pitcher to hurl a perfect game in the World Series. Late in his career he was used primarily in relief. The Orioles released him prior to the 1966 season and he played on several minor league teams. The Cubs brought him up in 1967 to pitch 4 innings in 3 appearances. Afterwards he kicked around the Cubs farm system before retiring in 1968.
