1974 Topps #512 Joe Lahoud
About Joe Lahoud
Joe Lahoud is pictured as an Angel on #512 because of a nine-player trade with Milwaukee on October 23, 1973. With the 1973 Brewers he hit .204 with five home runs in 96 games, working mostly as a designated hitter and pinch-hitter early on, and was batting .094 as late as May 17.
Joe Lahoud was a left-handed-hitting outfielder from Danbury, Connecticut, the son of a Lebanese-American hatter and an Irish-American mother. Signed by Red Sox scout Bots Nekola in 1965, he climbed through Winston-Salem before an eye-catching spring training 1968 earned him a big-league look, filling in for the injured Tony Conigliaro. Over eleven seasons he played for Boston, Milwaukee, California, Texas and Kansas City, spending most of his Red Sox years as a fourth outfielder squeezed behind Carl Yastrzemski, Reggie Smith and Conigliaro. He hit three home runs in a single game against the Twins in June 1969, off three different pitchers. A blockbuster ten-player trade sent him to Milwaukee after the 1971 season, and he later moved on through California, Texas and Kansas City before his career ended in 1978. He finished with a .223 average, 65 home runs and 218 RBIs across 791 games.
