1969 Topps #329 Rick Joseph
About Rick Joseph
In 1969 Joseph had his busiest big-league season, playing 99 games for the Phillies and batting a career-best .273 with 6 home runs and 37 RBIs, seeing most of his time at third base with additional games at first. His 1969 Topps card, number 329 in the fourth print series, came a year after his 1968 rookie card and captures his career-year season with Philadelphia.
Ricardo Emelindo Joseph Harrigan, a corner infielder from San Pedro de Macoris in the Dominican Republic, signed with the San Francisco Giants organization in 1959 and spent five seasons working through their farm system before Kansas City drafted him and brought him to the majors in June 1964. After a short stint with the Athletics, the Phillies picked him up and sent him to their San Diego farm club, where he was named Most Valuable Player of the Pacific Coast League in 1967. Called up that August, he introduced himself to Philadelphia fans on September 16, 1967, with a pinch-hit, walk-off grand slam off Ron Perranoski against the Dodgers - through 2019 still the last time any major leaguer opened his home-run account that way. He spent the next three seasons as a utility infielder and outfielder for the Phillies before finishing his pro career in the minors and Mexican League. He batted and threw right-handed and stood 6-foot-1.
