1971 Topps #622 Joe Lahoud
About Joe Lahoud
Joe Lahoud spent most of 1970 at Louisville, where he hit .300 in 136 games with 116 walks and 93 RBIs, and came up in September to bat .245 in 17 games for Boston under manager Eddie Kasko. His #622 card, from the fifth series, shows him with the Red Sox. In 1971 he hit .215 with 14 home runs in 256 at-bats, mostly as a pinch-hitter until mid-June.
Joe Lahoud was a left-handed-hitting outfielder from Danbury, Connecticut, the son of a Lebanese-American hatter and an Irish-American mother. Signed by Red Sox scout Bots Nekola in 1965, he climbed through Winston-Salem before an eye-catching spring training 1968 earned him a big-league look, filling in for the injured Tony Conigliaro. Over eleven seasons he played for Boston, Milwaukee, California, Texas and Kansas City, spending most of his Red Sox years as a fourth outfielder squeezed behind Carl Yastrzemski, Reggie Smith and Conigliaro. He hit three home runs in a single game against the Twins in June 1969, off three different pitchers. A blockbuster ten-player trade sent him to Milwaukee after the 1971 season, and he later moved on through California, Texas and Kansas City before his career ended in 1978. He finished with a .223 average, 65 home runs and 218 RBIs across 791 games.
