1967 Topps #175 Bobby Knoop
About Bobby Knoop
1967 Topps #175, a series-two card, follows Knoop's first Gold Glove season. He and Angels roommate and double-play partner Jim Fregosi both won Gold Gloves at their positions that year, part of a defensive stretch that saw Knoop rank second among AL second basemen in fielding percentage in 1967 as he continued anchoring the Angels' infield.
Bobby Knoop was a sure-handed second baseman who anchored the Angels infield for the better part of a decade. Signed by the Milwaukee Braves organization in 1956, he spent eight years and ten minor league stops before the Los Angeles Angels took him in the December 1963 Rule 5 draft. He became the club's regular second baseman in 1964 and held the job into 1969, teaming with shortstop Jim Fregosi to give the Angels one of the American League's steadiest double-play combinations. Knoop's game was built on defense: he led AL second basemen in fielding percentage in 1966 and won three straight Gold Gloves from 1966 through 1968. He started at second base for the American League in the 1966 All-Star Game, the same year he posted career highs of 17 home runs, 72 RBIs and 54 runs. After Anaheim he played for the Chicago White Sox and Kansas City Royals, closing out a nine-year career in 1972 with a .236 average, 56 home runs and 331 RBIs across 1,153 games. He went on to a long second act as a coach and scout across several organizations, and was inducted into the Angels Hall of Fame in 2013.
