1963 Topps #110 Rich Rollins
About Rich Rollins
Card #110 is a series-two card. It shows Rollins with the Minnesota Twins, and expectations ran high: club president Calvin Griffith called him intelligent and calm in every situation, not a flash in the pan. Then Tigers pitcher Paul Foytack broke Rollins's jaw with a pitch in a Knoxville exhibition game. He could not eat solid food for a stretch and did not start a regular-season game until April 20, yet he hit .307 with 16 home runs and 61 RBIs - third in the American League behind Carl Yastrzemski and Al Kaline.
Richard John Rollins was born April 16, 1938, in Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania, and grew up in the Cleveland suburbs, where he played second base, third base and catcher at Parma High School. A scholarship took him to Kent State, where he was a three-time All-Mid-American Conference pick at second base with future major leaguer Gene Michael beside him at shortstop. Undrafted - there was no amateur draft then - he signed with the Washington Senators in 1960 for a $6,000 bonus and reached the majors with the relocated Minnesota Twins on June 16, 1961. Handed the third-base job in 1962, he hit .298 with 16 home runs and 96 RBIs, was voted the Twins' team MVP by his teammates, and started both All-Star Games ahead of Brooks Robinson. A broken jaw, an arthritic hip and chronic knee trouble wore down the rest of a ten-year career that also took in the Seattle Pilots, Milwaukee Brewers and Cleveland Indians. He finished at .269 with 77 home runs and 399 RBIs, later worked in the Indians front office and for the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers, and was inducted into the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame in 1976. Rollins died May 13, 2025, in Akron, Ohio.
