1971 Topps #635 Bobby Murcer
About Bobby Murcer
Murcer batted .331 with 25 home runs and 94 RBI in 1971. He led the American League with a .427 on-base percentage. Before the season, he adopted a heavier bat and worked on bunting with Mickey Mantle. His fifth-series 1971 Topps card, #635, listed the Yankees.
Bobby Murcer was a five-time All-Star outfielder who played for the Yankees, Giants and Cubs over 17 major league seasons. Yankees scout Tom Greenwade, who had also signed Mickey Mantle, signed Murcer in June 1964. He finished his playing career with a .277 average, 1,862 hits, 252 home runs and 1,043 RBI, and won a Gold Glove in 1972. After retiring in 1983, he joined the Yankees' television broadcast team. In 1987, he also coached the club's left-handed hitters before returning to broadcasting. Away from the microphone, Murcer became part-owner and president of the Oklahoma City 89ers and chaired the Baseball Assistance Team, which provided financial help to former players and other baseball personnel.
