1976 Topps #206 Manny Trillo
About Manny Trillo
Trillo played 156 games at second base for the 1976 Cubs and hit .239 with 17 steals. He had finished third in the 1975 Rookie of the Year voting despite 29 errors, and joked that his teammates called errors his vitamin, one a day. His #206 card shows him with Chicago.
Manny Trillo was a Venezuelan second baseman known for his strong throwing arm and his fielding. The Phillies signed him in 1968 as a catcher, and his first minor league manager, Dallas Green, moved him to the infield. Oakland took him in the 1969 Rule 5 draft and he debuted with the Athletics in 1973. Over 17 seasons with the Athletics, Cubs, Phillies, Indians, Expos, Giants and Reds he made four All-Star teams and won three Gold Gloves, in 1979, 1981 and 1982. With the 1980 Phillies he was the NLCS MVP and a member of the club's first World Series winner. In 1982 he handled 479 consecutive chances at second base without an error, a major league record at the time. He is in the Venezuelan Baseball Hall of Fame, inducted in 2007, and the Philadelphia Baseball Wall of Fame, added in 2020.
