1971 Topps #418 Adolfo Phillips
About Adolfo Phillips
Phillips hit .238 with 6 home runs and 21 RBIs for the 1970 Montreal Expos. He played 92 games, started 52 of them in center field and stole 7 bases. #418 in the fourth series of the 1971 Topps set shows him with the Expos. He spent the whole 1971 season in the minors, at Winnipeg and briefly Salt Lake City, and the Expos sold his contract to Cleveland that December.
Adolfo Phillips, a Panamanian center fielder from Bethania, signed with the Phillies in 1960 and rose quickly through the minors, batting .330 with 33 home runs in the Pioneer League in 1962. He debuted with Philadelphia in September 1964, then was traded to the Chicago Cubs in April 1966 in a deal that also sent Ferguson Jenkins to Chicago. Manager Leo Durocher praised his talent and installed him as an everyday center fielder, and Phillips rewarded him with his finest season in 1967, setting a National League record with 29 intentional walks. Durocher and Phillips clashed repeatedly over hustle and mental errors, and the relationship soured before Phillips was traded to the expansion Montreal Expos in June 1969. He finished his career with Cleveland in 1972, then continued playing in the Mexican League through the mid-1970s. Over parts of eight seasons he hit .247 with 59 home runs. He drove in 173 runs and stole 82 bases.
