1972 Topps #711 Bobby Bonds
About Bobby Bonds
Bonds scored 118 runs in 1972, second in the National League for the third straight season, and stole 44 bases while being caught stealing six times. His OPS still fell almost 100 points to .772. Both of his 1972 Topps cards, #711 and the In Action card #712, carry the Giants and come from the final series.
Bobby Bonds was a right fielder who combined power and speed across 14 major league seasons from 1968 to 1981, the first seven with the San Francisco Giants. Called up on June 25, 1968, he hit a grand slam in his third at-bat of his first game, the first player of the modern era to hit a slam in his debut. Bonds became the first player with more than two 30-homer, 30-steal seasons, finishing with a record five, and the second after Willie Mays to reach 300 home runs and 300 stolen bases. A three-time All-Star (1971, 1973, 1975) and three-time Gold Glove winner (1971, 1973, 1974), he was the All-Star Game MVP and The Sporting News NL Player of the Year in 1973. That year he hit a career-high 39 homers and stole 43 bases. He also struck out often, twice setting the single-season strikeout record. After the 1974 season the Giants traded him to the Yankees for Bobby Murcer, and he played for seven more clubs by 1981, finishing with 332 home runs and 461 steals. He was the Indians' hitting instructor from 1984 to 1987 and a Giants coach again in 1993. Bonds is the father of Barry Bonds, and together they hold the father-son records for combined home runs, RBIs and stolen bases.
