About Jim Fregosi
Fregosi hit a career-high 22 home runs for California in 1970, batting .278 with 82 RBI. He scored 95 runs in 158 games and finished twelfth in American League MVP voting. His sixth-series 1970 Topps card, #570, listed him with the Angels.
Jim Fregosi won 11 varsity letters at Junipero Serra High School in San Mateo before signing with the Boston Red Sox for a $20,000 bonus. The expansion Los Angeles Angels selected him after one Class-D season, and he debuted with them in September 1961. He became their regular shortstop and made six All-Star teams. On December 10, 1971, the Angels traded him to the Mets for four players: Nolan Ryan, Don Rose, Leroy Stanton and Francisco Estrada. Fregosi later played for Texas and Pittsburgh, finishing with 1,726 hits and a .265 average. As a manager, he led the Angels to their first postseason in 1979 and the Phillies to the 1993 National League pennant. He also managed the White Sox and Blue Jays. The Angels retired his number 11 in 1998.
