1975 Topps #104 Bill Madlock
About Bill Madlock
Bill "Mad Dog" Madlock reached the majors with the Texas Rangers in September 1973, then was flipped to the Chicago Cubs that October in a trade for future Hall of Famer Fergie Jenkins. Taking over third base from Cubs legend Ron Santo, he hit .313 as a rookie in 1974 - good for Topps' All-Star Rookie honors, the trophy stamped on his 1975 Topps card, his first solo Topps issue after sharing a 1974 rookie infielders card. Madlock broke out in 1975, batting .354 to win his first National League batting title, making his first All-Star team and sharing All-Star Game MVP honors with Jon Matlack. He added a second Cubs batting crown in 1976, then two more with Pittsburgh in 1981 and 1983, becoming the first player to win batting titles with two different clubs. He hit .375 to help the 1979 "We Are Family" Pirates win the World Series. Quick-tempered on the field, drawing fines and a suspension for run-ins with umpires, Madlock earned his "Mad Dog" nickname for that fire. He finished with 2,008 hits and a .305 average - the most batting titles of any player outside the Hall of Fame.
