1973 Topps #163 Vic Davalillo
About Vic Davalillo
Davalillo scored 59 runs and drove in 28 for Pittsburgh in 1972. His Pirates card, #163, belonged to the second series of 1973 Topps. Oakland purchased his contract on July 31, 1973, and an injury to Bill North gave him more postseason work. He collected 5 hits in 8 ALCS at-bats against Baltimore, including a triple in the deciding fifth game.
Vic Davalillo began professional baseball as a pitcher in Cincinnati's organization before becoming an outfielder. With Jacksonville, he won the International League batting title at .346 in 1962, then reached Cleveland the following spring. His 16 major league seasons took him through six clubs and produced 1,122 hits and a .279 average. He played on championship teams in Pittsburgh and Oakland, then laid down a two-out bunt hit that began the Dodgers' ninth-inning rally in Game 3 of the 1977 NLCS. His winter career in Venezuela lasted 30 seasons and included four batting titles and 1,505 hits. He joined the inaugural class of the Venezuelan Baseball Hall of Fame in 2003 and gave baseball clinics to young people in his homeland.
