1976 Topps #109 Larry Lintz
About Larry Lintz
Lintz took over the pinch-running job from Don Hopkins in 1976 and appeared in 68 games for Oakland with one official at-bat. He scored 21 runs and stole 31 bases in 42 attempts. On May 16 he scored the winning run in the eighth inning, taking third on a wild pickoff throw and coming home on a wild pitch. His #109 card lists him with the Athletics.
Larry Lintz was a 5-foot-9, 150-pound switch-hitting second baseman and base stealer who played 350 major league games from 1973 to 1978 for the Montreal Expos, St. Louis Cardinals, Oakland Athletics and Cleveland Indians. A sixth-round pick out of San Jose State in 1971, he stole 96 bases for Quebec in 1972, an Eastern League record. With Montreal in 1974 he hit .238 and stole 50 bases, fifth in the National League and then a club record. Traded to the Cardinals in July 1975 for Jim Dwyer and to Oakland that October for Charlie Chant, he became one of Charlie Finley's designated runners, pinch-running in 140 of his 350 games. He finished with 128 steals and a .227 average, and last played in the majors on May 30, 1978, with Cleveland.
