1973 Topps #322 Garry Maddox
About Garry Maddox
Maddox raised his average from .266 to .319 in 1973 and collected 187 hits. He played 144 games and added 11 home runs and 24 steals. Manager Charlie Fox moved him from sixth to third in the order ahead of Willie McCovey and told him to look for base hits; he choked up and switched to a lighter bat. His 1973 Topps card, #322, is his rookie card and shows him with the San Francisco Giants.
Garry Maddox was a center fielder who played 15 seasons, 1972 to 1986, for the San Francisco Giants and the Philadelphia Phillies. He won eight consecutive Gold Gloves from 1975 through 1982, all with Philadelphia, and Daily News columnist Bill Conlin tagged him the Secretary of Defense in 1976. The line that two-thirds of the earth is covered by water and the other third by Garry Maddox became one of baseball's best-known quotes. He hit .285 for his career with 117 home runs and 248 stolen bases. He also collected 337 doubles and 62 triples. Raised in San Pedro, California, he was a second-round pick in 1968, left pro ball for the Army, served a year in Vietnam, and returned in 1970. He replaced Willie Mays in center field at San Francisco in 1972. The Giants traded him to Philadelphia for Willie Montanez on May 4, 1975. He played on the 1980 Phillies team that won the franchise's first World Series, and his tenth-inning double scored the pennant-winning run in Game Five of that year's NLCS. He received the Roberto Clemente Award in 1986 and entered the Phillies Wall of Fame in 2001.
