1968 Topps #570 Rick Reichardt
About Rick Reichardt
1968 Topps #570 is a high number from the set's seventh series, picturing Reichardt with the California Angels. He turned in his best power season that year, playing 151 games and batting .255 with a career-high 21 home runs and 73 RBI as the club's regular outfielder.
Frederic Carl Reichardt was a two-sport star at the University of Wisconsin, twice leading the Big Ten in batting and starring at fullback on the 1962 Badgers team that fell to USC in the 1963 Rose Bowl. A bidding war for his amateur signing led him to the Los Angeles Angels in 1964 with a then-record $200,000 bonus, and the frenzy over his signing helped push Major League Baseball to institute its first amateur draft in 1965. He debuted with the Angels that September and settled into the outfield as the club moved to Anaheim, becoming the first player to homer at the new Anaheim Stadium in 1966. A kidney ailment that year required surgery and slowed him afterward, though he still posted double-digit home run totals into the early 1970s. He was later traded to the Washington Senators, then to the Chicago White Sox and finally the Kansas City Royals, retiring in 1974 after eleven big-league seasons as an outfielder.
