1966 Topps #284 Bobby Wine
About Bobby Wine
Card #284, fourth series of 1966 Topps. The 1965 season was the fullest of Wine's Phillies years: 139 games, 135 of them at shortstop against Amaro's 60, with 90 hits and a .228 average. It cost him his number - the Phillies traded for Dick Stuart, who had always worn 7, so Wine moved to 13 - and it even put him at first base four times behind Stuart. On April 12 he singled in the first regular-season game at the Houston Astrodome, helping Chris Short throw a shutout in the new ballpark.
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.
