1968 Topps #42 Larry Haney
About Larry Haney
Haney's 1968 Topps card (#42), from the set's first series, catches him as an Orioles backup during a season in which he appeared in 38 games and hit .236, including a September four-hit game against the Chicago White Sox, the only four-hit game of his career. The photo has become a minor collector curiosity: it is printed as a mirror image of his following year's Topps card, down to the teammate visible in the background.
Larry Haney was a defensive-minded catcher who spent 12 seasons in the majors from 1966 to 1978, backing up behind the plate for the Baltimore Orioles, Seattle Pilots, Oakland Athletics, St. Louis Cardinals and Milwaukee Brewers. Signed by Baltimore out of high school in Virginia, he made his debut on July 27, 1966 and homered in his second big-league at-bat off Cleveland's John O'Donoghue. Haney's calling card was his glove: a .985 career fielding percentage and an arm that caught 39 percent of attempted base stealers. He was on Oakland's roster for the entire 1974 championship season, appearing in two World Series games as the Athletics beat the Los Angeles Dodgers. Across 480 career games he hit .215 with 12 home runs and 73 RBI. After retiring as a player, Haney spent decades in the Brewers organization as a bullpen coach and pitching coach.
