1967 Topps #69 Vic Davalillo
About Vic Davalillo
Card #69 belongs to the first series. The back reports a hard 1966: a .250 average, 86 hits and 19 runs batted in across 121 games, with his at-bats cut from 505 to 344 as Cleveland began platooning him against right-handed pitching. It was the lowest average he had posted since reaching the majors.
Vic Davalillo was a minor-league pitcher before the bat took over. He won the International League batting title with Jacksonville at .346 in 1962 and reached the majors with Cleveland on April 9, 1963. Across 16 big-league seasons (1963-1980) the left-handed-hitting outfielder played for the Indians, Angels, Cardinals, Pirates, Athletics and Dodgers, won the 1964 Gold Glove in center field as the first left-handed-throwing outfielder honored in the American League, and started the 1965 All-Star Game. He remade himself as a pinch hitter, with 23 for the 1970 Cardinals, a total the record books long carried as 24, and his two-out bunt single in the ninth started the rally that beat Philadelphia in Game 3 of the 1977 NLCS, a series the Dodgers clinched a day later. He won championships with the 1971 Pirates and the 1973 Athletics. Beyond his 1,122 major-league hits he played 30 winter seasons in Venezuela, where he remains the career leader in hits and batting average and joined the Venezuelan Baseball Hall of Fame's 2003 charter class.
