1966 Topps #572 Bob Priddy
About Bob Priddy
Issued in Topps' seventh series, this high-number card catches Priddy in his first full major-league season, still with San Francisco. Used in 38 games, three as a starter, he lost all three of those starts but won every relief decision he had, finishing 6-0 out of the bullpen with a save, a 3.96 ERA, and 51 strikeouts over 91 innings.
Robert Simpson Priddy, a right-handed pitcher out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, signed with his hometown Pirates in 1959 and spent thirteen years in professional baseball. He reached the majors in September 1962 and worked in relief and as an occasional starter across parts of nine big-league seasons for six clubs: the Pirates, Giants, Senators, White Sox, Angels, and Braves. His busiest workload came in 1966 with San Francisco, where he went 6-0 in relief appearances, and in 1968 with Chicago, where he logged a career-high 114 innings and 18 starts. Priddy's path included several notable trades, among them a 1965 deal that sent him to the Giants for catcher Del Crandall, a later swap with Washington that brought pitcher Mike McCormick back to San Francisco, and a 1969 move to Atlanta in a package that also included knuckleballer Hoyt Wilhelm. He finished his career with the Braves in 1971, closing out with a 24-38 record, a 4.00 ERA, and 18 saves over 249 games. Priddy died in 2023 at age 83.
