1965 Topps #36 Bobby Wine
About Bobby Wine
Card #36 from the opening series of 1965 Topps. The 1964 season gave Wine his one Opening Day start of the decade, and he still shared the position, starting a bare majority of the games at short with Amaro in for 69 of them, hitting .212 across 126 games. He was at shortstop for the late innings of Jim Bunning's Father's Day perfect game against the Mets, and on June 4 he pinch-hit into the final out of Sandy Koufax's no-hitter in Philadelphia, the twelfth strikeout of the game. Then came the collapse: first place for most of the summer, gone in the last two weeks.
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.
