1970 Topps #50 Tommie Agee
About Tommie Agee
Agee opened 1970 with a 20-game hitting streak from April 16 to May 9, and on June 12 he went 4-for-5 with two home runs and four runs scored. He was NL Player of the Month for June, hitting .364 with 11 home runs and 30 RBI, and he hit for the cycle on July 6. He finished at .286 with 24 home runs and 31 steals, and won a Gold Glove. Card #50, from series 1, shows him with the Mets.
Tommie Agee was a center fielder who broke in with Cleveland in 1962, moved to the Chicago White Sox in a three-team trade after the 1964 season, and was a key part of the 1969 Miracle Mets. He grew up in Mobile, Alabama with future Mets teammate Cleon Jones, then signed with Cleveland after one season at Grambling State. In Chicago he won the 1966 AL Rookie of the Year award and a Gold Glove after homering more than 20 times and stealing more than 40 bases as a rookie, then made a second All-Star team in 1967. Traded to New York after the 1967 season, he led the 1969 Mets in homers and RBIs, and homered twice in the NLCS sweep of Atlanta. In Game 3 of the World Series he hit a leadoff home run and made two catches that potentially saved five runs in a 5-0 Mets win over Baltimore. He closed his career with Houston and St. Louis and died in 2001.
