1964 Topps #347 Bobby Wine
About Bobby Wine
Card #347 from the fourth series of 1964 Topps. The 1963 season was the one that made Wine's reputation: Ruben Amaro still drew 42 starts at shortstop, but Wine started everything else, played 142 games, and won the only Gold Glove of his career. The bat lagged behind as usual, .215 with 44 runs batted in, and the Phillies finished fourth at 87-75, twelve games behind the Dodgers. On September 18, the day after his 25th birthday, he tripled in a 5-1 win over the Mets at the Polo Grounds, the last three-bagger ever hit in the old park.
Robert Paul "Bobby" Wine, born September 17, 1938, in New York City, signed with the Philadelphia Phillies as an amateur free agent in 1957 out of Northport High School on Long Island. He debuted in four September games in 1960, went back to Triple-A Buffalo, and returned to stay in 1962. A glove-first shortstop who spent most of his career fending off a rival for the position, Wine won the National League Gold Glove at short in 1963 and led National League shortstops in fielding in 1967. Back trouble cost him most of 1966 and ended his 1968 season in mid-May. The Phillies sent him to the expansion Montreal Expos in April 1969, and he took over at shortstop there once Maury Wills was traded that June. In 1970 he turned 137 double plays, breaking Roy McMillan's single-season record for shortstops and setting a National League mark that still stands. Montreal released him in July 1972. His .215 career average is among the lowest of any major leaguer with 2,500 or more at-bats. He coached the Phillies from 1972 through 1983, including Dallas Green's 1980 World Series champions, managed the Braves on an interim basis in 1985, and was inducted into the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame in 2007.
