Add a late-career Oakland Athletics issue to your autograph collection with this Chris Hammond autographed 2004 Topps Total #694 card. Topps Total was known for its exceptionally deep checklist, providing cards of pitchers, role players and other roster members who were often overlooked in smaller mainstream sets. Hammond appears as card #694 in the expansive 2004 release and is pictured as a member of the Oakland Athletics.
Hammond joined Oakland for the 2004 season after spending the previous year with the New York Yankees. The veteran left-hander continued his successful second act as a relief pitcher, appearing in 41 games for the Athletics and finishing 4-1 with a 2.68 ERA and one save. He allowed just 46 hits over 53.2 innings while providing Oakland with another dependable veteran option out of the bullpen.
The 2004 season was Hammonds only year with Oakland and continued an impressive late-career stretch that began with his remarkable return to the majors with Atlanta in 2002. His brief Athletics tenure makes the 2004 Topps Total #694 an appealing team-change issue for Oakland collectors, Topps Total set builders, Chris Hammond fans or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
