1969 Topps #41 Bob Barton
About Bob Barton
Card #41 is a series-1 issue, and it is not Barton's rookie card. It reports his 1968 season with the Giants, the busiest of his career to that point: 46 games, 24 hits in 92 at-bats for a .261 average and five runs batted in, more games than he had played in any prior season.
Bob Barton was a right-handed catcher who played parts of ten major-league seasons between 1965 and 1974 for the San Francisco Giants, San Diego Padres and Cincinnati Reds. Born July 30, 1941, in Norwood, Ohio, he debuted on September 17, 1965, replacing Jack Hiatt behind the plate in a loss at Milwaukee, and singled for his first hit eleven days later while pinch-hitting for Hall of Famer Warren Spahn. A defense-first receiver, he worked behind Tom Haller in San Francisco before moving to the San Diego Padres for the 1970 season. His best year came in 1971, when he appeared in 121 games as the Padres' regular catcher, batted .250 with five home runs and 23 runs batted in, and led National League catchers in runners caught stealing with 42 and in caught-stealing percentage at 51.2. He got into only three games for Cincinnati in 1973 behind Hall of Famer Johnny Bench, closed out his career with San Diego in 1974, and finished at .226 with nine home runs and 66 RBI in 393 games. He died January 15, 2018.
