1968 Topps #202 Adolfo Phillips
About Adolfo Phillips
1968 Topps #202, part of the set's third print series, depicts Phillips with the Chicago Cubs. His 1968 season slipped from his 1967 peak, as he hit .241 with 13 home runs and 33 RBI over 143 games. Durocher grew increasingly frustrated that year, at one point fining Phillips $200 for not hustling on the bases, and the two men's relationship continued to strain heading into 1969.
Adolfo Phillips, a Panamanian center fielder from Bethania, signed with the Phillies in 1960 and tore through the minors, twice topping .300 with power and speed. He debuted with Philadelphia in September 1964, then was traded to the Chicago Cubs in April 1966 in a deal that also sent Ferguson Jenkins to Chicago. Manager Leo Durocher praised his talent and installed him as an everyday center fielder, and Phillips rewarded him with his finest season in 1967, setting a National League record with 29 intentional walks. Durocher and Phillips clashed repeatedly over hustle and mental errors, and the relationship soured before Phillips was traded to the expansion Montreal Expos in June 1969. He finished his career with Cleveland in 1972, then continued playing in the Mexican League through the mid-1970s. Career totals: .247 average, 59 home runs, 173 RBI and 82 stolen bases over parts of eight seasons.
