1970 Topps #288 Larry Hisle
About Larry Hisle
Hisle's first big-league home run came on April 21, 1969, at Shea Stadium off Gary Gentry of the Mets. The Phillies opened 1970 under new manager Frank Lucchesi with rookies Larry Bowa and Denny Doyle, and Hisle slipped to .205 with 10 home runs and 44 RBI. His #288, a third-series card, carries the trophy cup for the Topps All-Star Rookie team he made alongside teammate Don Money and Al Oliver.
Larry Hisle was an outfielder who broke in with the Philadelphia Phillies, later played for the Minnesota Twins and Milwaukee Brewers, and made two All-Star teams over a 14-season career. Signed by the Phillies out of Portsmouth, Ohio in 1965, he reached the majors in 1968 and turned in a strong rookie season the following year before a two-year slump led to a trade away from Philadelphia. After a big year at Triple-A Albuquerque, Hisle landed with Minnesota in 1973 and led the American League in RBI in 1977. He signed with Milwaukee as a free agent in 1978 and had another big year before a torn rotator cuff limited his final seasons. After retiring in 1982, Hisle was hitting coach for the Toronto Blue Jays from 1992 through 1995, helping them to World Series titles in 1992 and 1993.
