1967 Topps #14 Phil Linz
About Phil Linz
An early series-1 card, #14 still shows Linz as a Phillie and lists him at third base rather than the shortstop his other Topps issues gave him. The 1966 line behind it is thin: 40 games, 70 at-bats, a .200 average and six RBI. He would add only 23 more games in Philadelphia, 63 in all across a season and a half, before the July 1967 trade that moved him to the Mets.
Philip Francis Linz was born June 4, 1939, in Baltimore, Maryland, a Calvert Hall College High School product who spent five years in the Yankees' farm system, batting .304 with fifteen home runs mostly at shortstop, reaching the majors in 1962. Across seven seasons he was a utility infielder for the Yankees (1962-1965), Philadelphia Phillies (1966-1967) and New York Mets (1967-1968), covering shortstop, second, third and the outfield well enough to earn the nickname 'Supersub.' His lasting fame traces to a team bus in Chicago on August 20, 1964, where his harmonica rendition of 'Mary Had a Little Lamb' set off manager Yogi Berra; the harmonica came loose and cut Joe Pepitone's knee, and the episode convinced the Yankees' front office that Berra had lost the clubhouse, costing him his job at season's end despite an American League pennant. Linz retired in 1968 with a .235 average, 11 home runs and 96 RBI over 519 games, and died December 9, 2020, in Leesburg, Virginia.
