1976 Topps #141 Larry Parrish
About Larry Parrish
Over dinner in Chicago during the 1975 season, Expos manager Gene Mauch told a slow-starting Parrish that he belonged in the majors, and the rookie finished at .274 with 10 home runs and 65 RBI. Card #141 is his rookie card, and its front carries the Topps All-Star Rookie trophy; Gary Carter and John Montefusco also made that rookie team. National League pitchers threw him a lot of curveballs and sliders in 1976, and his average fell to .232 with 11 home runs.
Larry Parrish was a third baseman, later an outfielder and first baseman, who played 15 major league seasons from 1974 to 1988, most of them with the Montreal Expos and the Texas Rangers. Signed out of Seminole Junior College by Expos scout Mel Didier, he became the club's regular third baseman in 1975 and tied for third in National League Rookie of the Year voting. His best year was 1979, when he hit .307 with 30 home runs and 82 RBI, made the All-Star team and finished fourth in MVP voting. He is the only Expo to hit three home runs in a game on three occasions. Traded to Texas for Al Oliver on March 31, 1982, he hit three grand slams in one week that season, made a second All-Star team in 1987, and finished his American career with Boston in 1988. He played two more years in Japan with Yakult and Hanshin. Parrish retired with a .263 average, 256 home runs and 992 RBI in the majors. He then managed in the Tigers organization, led Detroit in 1998 and 1999, and won back-to-back Governors' Cup titles with the Toledo Mud Hens in 2005 and 2006. The International League Hall of Fame inducted him as a manager in 2013.
