1967 Topps #405 Russ Snyder
About Russ Snyder
Card #405 sits in the fifth series of the 1967 Topps set, a straightforward mid-number, and it caught Snyder at the peak. In 1966 he hit .306 with 114 hits, 21 doubles, 66 runs and a career-best 41 runs batted in across 117 games, ran a 14-game hitting streak from June 19 through July 9, and went 5-for-6 at Anaheim on June 26. His .347 mark through July 9 was the highest in the American League, though he lacked the plate appearances to qualify. Then came the glove work: a ninth-inning dive on Dick Green's liner at Kansas City on September 22 that clinched Baltimore's first pennant, and a lunging catch of John Roseboro's sinking drive in Game One of the four-game World Series sweep of the Dodgers.
Russell Henry Snyder, born June 22, 1934, in Oak, Nebraska, was a left-handed hitting, right-handed throwing outfielder who spent 12 major league seasons, 1959 through 1970, with five American League clubs. The Yankees signed him in August 1952 and he began his professional career in 1953, leading the Class D Sooner State League at .432. New York traded him to the Kansas City Athletics in April 1959, and he hit .313 as a rookie, finishing third in American League Rookie of the Year voting. A January 1961 trade sent him to Baltimore, where he spent seven seasons as a platoon outfielder and hit a team-best .305 in 1962. He was an important piece of the Orioles' first World Series championship in 1966, then finished up with the Chicago White Sox, Cleveland Indians and Milwaukee Brewers; his last big league game came September 30, 1970, and Milwaukee released him in March 1971. He batted .271 with 984 hits, 42 home runs and 319 runs batted in over 1,365 games, fielding .981 at all three outfield spots. He is not a National Baseball Hall of Famer, but was inducted into the Nebraska Baseball Hall of Fame in 1992.
