1965 Topps #90 Rich Rollins
About Rich Rollins
Card #90 is a series-two card. It catches Rollins in the Twins' pennant year. He appeared in 140 games, mostly at third base with 16 at second, and batted .249 as Minnesota won the American League by seven games. In the World Series the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Twins in seven, Sandy Koufax shutting Minnesota out in Games 5 and 7, and Rollins's share was three pinch-hit appearances - the only World Series of his career.
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.
