1970 Topps #352 Bob Barton
About Bob Barton
Barton's third-series #352 pictures him with the San Diego Padres after five seasons in San Francisco. His last Giants year, 1969, brought 49 games, every one behind the plate, with 18 hits in 106 at-bats for a .170 average, one RBI and no home runs.
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 on September 28 while pinch-hitting for Hall of Famer Warren Spahn. Primarily a backup, he worked behind Tom Haller in San Francisco before moving to the San Diego Padres for the 1970 season. His best year at the plate 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 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.
