1964 Topps #190 Bobby Richardson
About Bobby Richardson
Card #190 came out of the second series and reports on a 1963 season in which Richardson led the American League in at bats for the second year running, batted .265, stole a career-high 15 bases and won his third straight Gold Glove with a personal-best .984 fielding mark. For the way he carried himself on and off the field he was given the Lou Gehrig Memorial Award for 1963, named for the player whose film biography had sent him chasing a Yankees uniform as a boy. October was short: the Dodgers swept New York in four games, though Richardson played in every one.
Bobby Richardson was a second baseman who spent his entire twelve-year career with the New York Yankees, from 1955 through 1966. He signed out of Edmunds High School in Sumter, South Carolina, on the day he graduated, and broke in as a light-hitting reserve behind Billy Martin, Gil McDougald and Jerry Coleman before settling in as the regular second baseman in 1959, the year he hit .301. He teamed with shortstop Tony Kubek and third baseman Clete Boyer to form one of the sharpest infields of the era, winning five straight Gold Gloves from 1961 through 1965. A contact hitter who almost never struck out - 243 times in twelve seasons - he led the American League in at bats three times and in hits once, with 209 in 1962. He was an eight-time All-Star and played in seven World Series, batting .305 in them, and in 1960 he became the only World Series MVP ever chosen from the losing team, driving in a record twelve runs, six of them in a single game. He retired after the 1966 season, still only 31, to spend more time with his family, and later coached college baseball at South Carolina, Coastal Carolina and Liberty.
