1965 Topps, Nellie Fox

Card No. 485

I think the most amazing thing about Nellie Fox's Hall of Fame career is that he never struck out more than 18 times in a single season....Over 19 years and 9,232 ABs, Fox fanned just 216 times(!)....Played the majority of his career with the White Sox where he was the 1959 A.L. MVP....This card finds Fox at the end of his decorated career, as it represents his final Topps appearance....His first Topps card is part of the '56 set....Served as a coach on Paul Richards' staff while also playing in 21 games for Houston in 1965.
