Ken Brett Autographed 1976 Topps Traded #401T New York Yankees Card

Documenting one of the many stops in Ken Bretts well-traveled Major League career, this Ken Brett autographed 1976 Topps Traded #401T New York Yankees card features the left-handed pitcher following his late-season move to New York. The Traded series updated players who changed teams after the regular 1976 Topps set was produced, giving collectors cards reflecting their new affiliations.

Brett spent most of the 1976 season with the Chicago White Sox, making 26 starts and working 200.2 innings while posting a 10-12 record with a 3.32 ERA. He was acquired by the Yankees late in the season and made two appearances for New York, allowing no runs in 2.1 innings. His brief Yankees tenure makes the #401T card an interesting cardboard record of a particularly short chapter in his career.

Brett had already made baseball history years earlier with the Boston Red Sox. He reached the Major Leagues as a 19-year-old in 1967 and appeared in the World Series that fall against the St. Louis Cardinals, becoming one of the youngest pitchers ever to appear in a World Series.

His career also included a standout 1974 season with the Pittsburgh Pirates, when Brett earned his lone National League All-Star selection. An unusually accomplished hitter for a pitcher, Brett was frequently used as a pinch hitter during his career and finished with 10 Major League home runs.

The older brother of Hall of Famer George Brett, Ken pitched in the Major Leagues for 14 seasons and nine different organizations. The 1976 Topps Traded #401T is especially appealing for New York Yankees collectors, Ken Brett fans, vintage Topps Traded set collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
