1976 Topps #232 Frank Duffy
About Frank Duffy
Manager Frank Robinson called Duffy the last player he would want to lose from the Cleveland lineup. He said Duffy made the whole infield better and positioned himself so well that he always seemed to be in the right place. Duffy batted .243 in 1975 and .212 in 1976. He argued that fans voting for the All-Star shortstop leaned too heavily on batting statistics, saying a shortstop's work in the field mattered more to his team than what he did at the plate.
Frank Duffy was a glove-first shortstop who played ten seasons in the majors, 1970 through 1979, for the Reds, Giants, Indians and Red Sox. A three-sport athlete at Turlock High School, he graduated from Stanford with a psychology degree, was named a Sporting News All-American in 1967, and was the sixth pick of that year's draft by Cincinnati. Reds manager Sparky Anderson preferred Dave Concepcion at short, and Duffy was moved twice in a single year, first to San Francisco and then to Cleveland. He started at shortstop for the Indians for six seasons and placed near the top of the league's shortstops in fielding percentage in each of his first five years there. He closed his career with the Red Sox in 1978 and 1979, and finished with a .232 average and 26 home runs in 915 games.
