1976 Topps #125 Don Baylor
About Don Baylor
Topps #125 pictures Baylor with the Orioles after a .282, 25-home-run, 32-steal 1975, but a week before Opening Day Earl Weaver told him he had been traded to Oakland for Reggie Jackson. He hit .247, stole 52 bases and led the majors with 20 hit-by-pitches.
Don Baylor was a right-handed power hitter who played outfield, first base and designated hitter for six American League clubs over 19 seasons, mostly the Orioles and Angels. He crowded the plate and was hit by 267 pitches, the modern record when he retired, and he led the AL in the category eight times. He finished with 338 home runs, 1,276 RBI and 285 stolen bases. In 1979 he led the majors with 139 RBI and 120 runs, carried California to its first division title and won the AL MVP Award. He reached the World Series in three straight years with three clubs, Boston in 1986, Minnesota in 1987 and Oakland in 1988, winning with the Twins. He later managed the expansion Colorado Rockies from 1993 to 1998, winning NL Manager of the Year in 1995, and the Chicago Cubs from 2000 to 2002. He is a member of the Angels Hall of Fame. He was known as Groove after a line he spoke as a 20-year-old Orioles prospect that teammates read back to him in the clubhouse. He died in 2017.
