 Per Wikipedia: "He is notable for being the first Japanese player ever to play for a Major League team. Sent over to the United States by the Nankai Hawks, Murakami saw success as a reliever for the Giants, debuting at the age of 20 in 1964. In 1965, he struck out over one batter per inning pitched, posted an ERA under 4 and earned eight saves. Following this season, however, Murakami headed back to his original Japanese club due to contractual obligations, where he continued his success for another 17 years. ... on September 1, 1964, he became the first Japanese player to play in the major leagues. Murakami pitched extremely well as a reliever, and because of it, the Giants refused the Hawks' order to return him to Japan. The argument escalated during the 1964 off-season, and the Japanese baseball commissioner was called in to make the final decision on which team Murakami would play with. The commissioner made a compromise; Murakami would return to the Hawks after he had played for another full season with the Giants. He wore number 10 with the San Francisco Giants."

Piersall -- Fear Srikes Out
"Probably the best thing that ever happened to me was going nuts. Whoever heard of Jimmy Piersall, until that happened?" - Jimmy Piersall
That was early on in his major league career, way before the '65 Anaheim Angels. I met his son -- well, at least one of them, I don't know how many he had --- in passing, when I lived in CA. The son was great and unassuming. There was a film about him, Sr., not Jr.: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050383/

I like the Mays card a lot. His teammate is runner up to Oliva as a favorite card in the set for me.

1965 Topps is my favorite year from that decade. I'm building a set on the SGC registry, all 8 or better. My set averages about an 8.5. I'm currently #2 on the registry, but I'm really not doing it to be competitive, just for fun.

Also like Spahnie's last card.
 Another one I don't have is the Koufax-Drysdale leader card
