1971 Topps #147 Bob Priddy
About Bob Priddy
Priddy pitched in 40 games for Atlanta in 1971, all in relief, and went 4-9 with a 4.22 ERA. He saved 4 games and struck out 36 batters in 64 innings, and his last major-league appearance came on September 12. His 1971 Topps card, #147, comes from the second series and shows him with the Braves.
Robert Simpson Priddy, a right-handed pitcher out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, signed with his hometown Pirates in 1959 and spent thirteen years in professional baseball. He reached the majors in September 1962 and worked in relief and as an occasional starter across parts of nine big-league seasons for six clubs: the Pirates, Giants, Senators, White Sox, Angels, and Braves. In 1966 with San Francisco he went 6-0 in relief, and in 1968 with Chicago he logged a career-high 114 innings and 18 starts. A February 1965 trade sent him to the Giants for catcher Del Crandall, and a later swap with Washington brought pitcher Mike McCormick back to San Francisco. Atlanta acquired him in September 1969 along with knuckleballer Hoyt Wilhelm. He finished his career with the Braves in 1971, closing out with a 24-38 record, a 4.00 ERA, and 18 saves over 249 games. Priddy died in 2023 at age 83.
