1973 Topps #152 Dave May
About Dave May
May stole 11 bases and scored 49 runs for Milwaukee in 1972. His Brewers card, #152, appeared in the second series of 1973 Topps. A bruised thumb hampered his swing late in 1973, when Milwaukee writers named him and George Scott the club's co-MVPs.
Dave May was a left-handed-hitting outfielder who spent 12 major league seasons with the Baltimore Orioles, Milwaukee Brewers, Atlanta Braves, Texas Rangers and Pittsburgh Pirates from 1967 to 1978. A native of New Castle, Delaware, he broke in with Baltimore and was a reserve outfielder on the pennant-winning 1969 Orioles. Traded to Milwaukee in mid-1970, he became an everyday center fielder, capped by a 1973 All-Star season in which he hit .303 with 25 home runs and 93 RBI and led the American League in total bases. After 1974 he was traded to Atlanta in a deal that sent Hank Aaron to Milwaukee, then moved on to Texas and back to Milwaukee before finishing with Pittsburgh. Over his career he batted .251 with 96 home runs and 422 RBI in 1,252 games. He was inducted into the Delaware Sports Museum and Hall of Fame, a state honor separate from Cooperstown.
