1967 Topps #398 Jeff Torborg
About Jeff Torborg
With the Dodgers slipping in the standings, Torborg started 75 games behind the plate in 1967 as the primary backup catcher, playing a career-high share of games to that point as Los Angeles finished the season below .500. His 1967 Topps card, #398, is issued in the fifth print series.
Jeff Torborg was a catcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers and California Angels from 1964 to 1973, prized for handling a pitching staff rather than for his bat. A Rutgers All-American who hit .537 in his final college season, he signed with the Dodgers in 1963 and spent most of his career as a backup, not becoming a full-time starter until his last season in Anaheim. Despite the limited playing time, Torborg caught three no-hitters for three different pitchers: Sandy Koufax's 1965 perfect game, Bill Singer's 1970 no-hitter, and the first of Nolan Ryan's seven no-hitters in 1973, making him one of a handful of catchers to catch a no-hitter in each league. He finished his playing days with a .214 average, 8 home runs and 101 RBI over ten seasons. Torborg went on to a long second career as a manager, coach and broadcaster, leading the Cleveland Indians, Chicago White Sox, New York Mets, Montreal Expos and Florida Marlins, and won American League Manager of the Year with the White Sox in 1990.
