1970 Topps #673 Ted Uhlaender
About Ted Uhlaender
Uhlaender held out in the spring of 1969, asking for $14,000 after earning $10,000 in 1968, and played in the Mexican League until Billy Martin got him to camp in March. In 1970 he sued Kent L. Henricksen and the Nemadji Game Company on behalf of professional players. His #673 is a seventh-series high number showing him with the Indians.
Ted Uhlaender was a left-handed-hitting outfielder who spent eight seasons in the majors with the Twins, Indians and Reds from 1965 to 1972. A Baylor product signed by Twins scout Buddy Hancken, he worked his way through the minors as a converted catcher before winning the Pacific Coast League batting title at Denver in 1965. He took over as Minnesota's starting center fielder in mid-1966 and held the job for four seasons. He led American League center fielders in fielding percentage in 1967 and hit .283, fifth in the league, in the pitcher-dominated 1968 season. Minnesota traded him to Cleveland after the 1969 season. He closed his career as a reserve outfielder with the pennant-winning 1972 Reds. He finished with a .263 career average and later coached and scouted in professional baseball. He is the father of Olympic skeleton competitor Katie Uhlaender.
