1965 Topps #124 Tom Satriano
About Tom Satriano
Card #124 lands in the second series of the 1965 set, an ordinary low number that follows his busiest big-league year yet: 108 games for the Los Angeles Angels in 1964, a then-career-high 255 at-bats and 51 hits for a .200 average. A .325 spring had won him a super-sub job that included first base, and he opened fast with three hits and three RBI against Cleveland on April 26 and hits in six straight starts, then went 1-for-30 in June once the Angels acquired Vic Power and pushed him to third.
Tom Satriano was born August 28, 1940, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and grew up in Los Angeles, starring at Loyola High School before enrolling at the University of Southern California. He was an All-American third baseman in 1960 and set an NCAA record with 10 hits in the five-game title series of the Trojans' 1961 championship run. He signed with the expansion Los Angeles Angels in July 1961 for a $50,000 bonus and debuted July 23. Sent to Nashville in 1963 to try catching, he made his major-league catching debut that September and worked 321 of his 674 games behind the plate. His best year was 1968, when he set career highs in hits, home runs and RBI and was voted the Angels' Most Valuable Player. A June 1969 trade for Joe Azcue sent him to Boston, where he closed a ten-year career with a .225 average, 21 home runs and 157 RBI. Known as 'Satch' and 'Tommy Trojan,' he later ran the consulting firm Satriano and Hilton for 25 years.
