1976 Topps #475 Joe Rudi
About Joe Rudi
Rudi hit .278 with 21 home runs and 75 RBI for Oakland in 1975. He played 91 games at first base and 44 in the outfield, and joined four other Athletics in the American League's All-Star starting lineup. His 1976 Topps card, #475, carries the All-Star designation. Finley sold Rudi's contract to Boston for $1 million on June 15, 1976; Commissioner Bowie Kuhn voided the sale on June 18.
Joe Rudi played left field for Oakland's three consecutive World Series championship teams from 1972 through 1974. He batted .300 in 70 at-bats in those Series. A three-time All-Star and three-time Gold Glove winner, he led the American League in hits in 1972 and total bases in 1974, finishing second in MVP voting both years. Kansas City scout Don Pries signed him out of Modesto, California, in 1964. He made his major-league debut in 1967 and stayed with the Athletics when they moved to Oakland. After later stops with California and Boston, he returned to Oakland for his final major-league season in 1982. Across sixteen seasons, he batted .264 with 179 home runs and 810 RBI in 1,547 games. The Athletics inducted him into their team Hall of Fame in 2022.
