1966 Topps #96 Felipe Alou
About Felipe Alou
Alou's 1966 Topps card #96 is a first-series number and the first of his base cards to carry the Atlanta name after the franchise left Milwaukee, but the back belongs to 1965, the club's final Milwaukee season:.297 with 23 home runs and 78 RBI in 143 games while he alternated between first base and the outfield.
Felipe Rojas Alou was born May 12, 1935, in Haina, Dominican Republic, and signed with the New York Giants in November 1955 for $200. He debuted with San Francisco on June 8, 1958, the second Dominican-born player to reach the majors after Ozzie Virgil, and played seventeen seasons (1958-1974) as an outfielder and first baseman for the Giants, Braves, Athletics, Yankees, Expos and Brewers. He batted .286 with 2,101 hits, 206 home runs and 852 RBI, made three All-Star teams (1962, 1966, 1968) and led the National League in hits twice and in runs once. He, Matty and Jesus Alou are the only three brothers to play the same major-league outfield, and his son Moises Alou followed him to the majors. Alou later became the first Dominican-born manager in big-league history, guiding the Montreal Expos from 1992 to 2001 and the San Francisco Giants from 2003 to 2006, finishing 1,033-1,021. He is in the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame (2015) and the Caribbean Baseball Hall of Fame (2016), not Cooperstown.
