About Johnny Grubb
Card #422 follows Grubb's 1975, when he played 144 games with 149 hits and 72 runs scored. Yogi Berra had picked him as the Padres' only All-Star in 1974, and in the game at Pittsburgh he popped out to shortstop against Catfish Hunter in his only at-bat.
Johnny Grubb was a left-handed-hitting outfielder who played 16 major league seasons, 1972 to 1987, with the Padres, Indians, Rangers and Tigers. A Richmond, Virginia native, he played at Manatee Junior College and Florida State, whose 1970 team went 49-9 and finished second at the College World Series. San Diego signed him as the 24th pick of the secondary phase in 1971. He debuted September 10, 1972, hit .311 as the Padres' 1973 center fielder and made the 1974 National League All-Star team. After trades to Cleveland and then Texas, he adjusted to the designated hitter role in the American League, and he finished his career in Detroit, where he was a member of the 1984 World Series champions. He retired with a .278 average, 99 home runs and 475 RBI in 1,424 games. In 1986 he hit .333 with 13 home runs for the Tigers.
