1976 Topps #295 Dave Cash
About Dave Cash
Topps pictured Cash with the Phillies on #295. In 1975 he led the National League in at-bats and plate appearances and scored a career-high 111 runs. Larry Bowa also topped .300, the first second-base and shortstop pair to do that since the 1949 White Sox. The Phillies won 86 games after seven straight seasons below .500 and finished second. General manager Paul Owens said he knew Cash had leadership qualities, but "no one ever expected him to do such a super job of showing us how to win."
Dave Cash was a second baseman who played 1969 to 1980 for the Pirates, Phillies, Expos and Padres. A fifth-round Pittsburgh pick in 1966, he shared the position with Bill Mazeroski and Rennie Stennett, led off for the 1971 World Series champions, and was traded to Philadelphia for Ken Brett after the 1973 season. With the Phillies he became an everyday player and a three-time All-Star, 1974 through 1976, hitting .300 in 1974 and .305 in 1975 with a major-league-best 213 hits. He is credited with the Yes We Can attitude of the Phillies teams that won the 1976 division title. He signed a five-year free-agent contract with Montreal after the 1976 season, lost the starting job in 1979, and ended his career in San Diego in 1980. He finished with 1,571 hits and a .283 average in 1,422 games. Later he coached and managed in the minors and independent leagues and was Baltimore's first base coach in 2006. Willie Stargell and his Pittsburgh teammates called him A.C., for air conditioning, because he stayed cool under pressure.
