About Russ Snyder
Card #347, from the third series of the 1970 Topps set, pictures Snyder with the Cleveland Indians, the club he had joined in 1968. His 1969 there ran 122 games and a .248 average with two home runs and 24 RBI. On April 4, 1970, during spring training, the Indians sent him and Max Alvis to Milwaukee for Roy Foster, Frank Coggins and cash. He hit .232 with four home runs in 124 games for the Brewers and played his final big league game on September 30.
Russell Henry Snyder, born June 22, 1934, in Oak, Nebraska, was a left-handed hitting, right-handed throwing outfielder who spent 12 major league seasons, 1959 through 1970, with five American League clubs. The Yankees signed him in August 1952 and he began his professional career in 1953, leading the Class D Sooner State League at .432. New York traded him to the Kansas City Athletics in April 1959, and he hit .313 as a rookie, finishing third in American League Rookie of the Year voting. A January 1961 trade sent him to Baltimore, where he spent seven seasons as a platoon outfielder and hit a team-best .305 in 1962. He was an important piece of the Orioles' first World Series championship in 1966, then finished up with the Chicago White Sox, Cleveland Indians and Milwaukee Brewers. He batted .271 with 984 hits, 42 home runs and 319 runs batted in over 1,365 games, fielding .981 while playing all three outfield positions. He was inducted into the Nebraska Baseball Hall of Fame in 1992.
