1970 Topps #99 Bobby Pfeil
About Bobby Pfeil
The Mets were world champions when Topps issued Pfeil's #99, a first-series rookie card. In 1969 he hit .232 in 211 at-bats and played 49 games at third base. In spring training he tried catching at Gil Hodges's request, and on May 26, 1970 he went to the Phillies as the player to be named later in the April 10 trade that brought Ron Allen to New York.
Bobby Pfeil was a right-handed infielder who played third base and second base for the 1969 New York Mets and the 1971 Philadelphia Phillies. He signed with the Cubs in 1961 after one year at Pierce Junior College and spent more than seven seasons in the minors. He moved to the Cardinals organization in 1965 and to the Mets in 1968, when he led his Triple-A league in hits at Jacksonville. In 106 major-league games he hit .242 with two home runs and 19 RBI. Both home runs came in one game on July 27, 1971, when he started at catcher for the first time and homered twice off Larry Dierker, a boyhood neighbor from California. He worked winters in the art props department at Walt Disney Studios, and after baseball he built an apartment business, RPM Company, with three partners and helped coach high school baseball for seven years.
