1967 Topps #148 Adolfo Phillips
About Adolfo Phillips
1967 Topps #148, from the set's second print series, shows Phillips with the Chicago Cubs coming off his trade from Philadelphia. The 1967 season that followed was the best of his career: a .268 average, 17 home runs and 70 RBI, plus a National League-record 29 intentional walks as Durocher kept him hitting eighth. On June 11, 1967 he hit three home runs in one game of a doubleheader against the New York Mets at Wrigley Field.
Adolfo Phillips, a Panamanian center fielder from Bethania, signed with the Phillies in 1960 and tore through the minors, twice topping .300 with power and speed. He debuted with Philadelphia in September 1964, then was traded to the Chicago Cubs in April 1966 in a deal that also sent Ferguson Jenkins to Chicago. Manager Leo Durocher praised his talent and installed him as an everyday center fielder, and Phillips rewarded him with his finest season in 1967, setting a National League record with 29 intentional walks. Durocher and Phillips clashed repeatedly over hustle and mental errors, and the relationship soured before Phillips was traded to the expansion Montreal Expos in June 1969. He finished his career with Cleveland in 1972, then continued playing in the Mexican League through the mid-1970s. Career totals: .247 average, 59 home runs, 173 RBI and 82 stolen bases over parts of eight seasons.
