1965 Topps #345 Floyd Robinson
About Floyd Robinson
Robinson's 1965 Topps card is #345, a series-4 issue reporting a bounce-back 1964: a .301 average, 158 hits, 11 home runs and 59 RBI over 141 games, fifth in the American League batting race. Those 158 hits were the second-highest total of his career, and the .301 mark was the third and last time he finished a season above .300. The White Sox went 98-64 that summer and came in one game behind the Yankees, the closest Robinson ever got to a World Series.
Floyd Robinson, a left-handed-hitting outfielder, signed with the Pacific Coast League's San Diego Padres out of San Diego High School in 1954 for a reported $500 bonus. After two years in the Marine Corps he was discharged in March 1960, and the Chicago White Sox took him through their San Diego working agreement; he debuted that August 10. Robinson spent seven seasons in Chicago, hit over .300 three times and tied for third in the 1961 American League Rookie of the Year vote. His best came in 1962: a .312 average, 109 RBI and a league-leading 45 doubles. Chicago traded him to Cincinnati for Jim O'Toole in December 1966; Oakland got him the following November, and Boston bought his contract in July 1968, his final season. He retired at .283 with 929 hits and 67 home runs in nine years, then ran a liquor store, built low-income senior housing and started the Floyd Robinson Foundation in 2007 to fund college grants for San Diego County graduates. San Diego's Breitbard Hall of Fame inducted him in 2009.
