Truly absurd fact. He made an all star team at age 47.

As a little kid collector in 1972, I never even saw a trace of the last series that year. A few years later my aunt found a shoebox of 1972 high #s at an antique store and sent it to me. Had a stack of Wilhelm cards.
Ironic that Wilhelm came in and went out as a high number.

He hit a home run in his first at bat and never hit another in his career. Amazingly he started in pro ball in 1942 and debuted in the Big Leagues in 1952 and pitched until 1972.
He was my favorite player when I was a kid. |

Truely absurd fact - Part 2... Hoyt's last 5 Topps cards (1968-1972) he was with 5 different teams. 68 - ChiSx; 69 Angels; 70 Braves; 71 Cubs; 72 Dodgers.

761. Close Horse
How cards of Hall of Fame relief pitcher, Hoyt Wilhem, always seemed to have him sporting yet another new team’s uniform each season.

Love this one.
A tough high series of Old Sarge flashing his legendary floater.

My favorite of his cards. I sold my set but I had to go pick up a nice copy of it just because.

For some reason, Wilhelm is card #545 in both the 1961 and 1962 sets.

That is a great card. I have a lot but not all 1961 Topps. I don't have that one. That has to change.
