1973 Topps #307 Boots Day
About Boots Day
Day rebounded in 1973 to hit .275 in 101 games for Montreal, with four home runs. He collected 57 hits in 207 at-bats, and 13 of them were pinch hits. His #307 card, from the third series, is printed with the Montreal Expos.
Boots Day was a left-handed-hitting outfielder who played parts of six seasons, 1969 to 1974, for the St. Louis Cardinals, Chicago Cubs and Montreal Expos, most of it as the Expos' platoon center fielder. The Cardinals signed him out of Ilion, New York, where his elementary school principal was their regional scout. St. Louis traded him to the Cubs for Rich Nye in December 1969, and Chicago sent him to Montreal for catcher Jack Hiatt in May 1970. He played 471 major league games, 449 of them with the Expos, and hit .256 with eight home runs and 98 RBIs. He played in the minors through 1980 and spent 55 years in professional baseball. His work as a manager, scout and hitting coach included a stint as Cardinals assistant coach under Tony La Russa and, through 2021, bench coach of the Evansville Otters. He is in the Greater Utica Sports Hall of Fame, the Mohawk Valley Baseball Hall of Fame and the Ilion High School Alumni Hall of Fame.
