1976 Topps #622 Rick Auerbach
About Rick Auerbach
Auerbach played 36 games for the Dodgers in 1976, mostly at shortstop and third base. He had six hits in 47 at bats for a .128 average. Just as spring training began in 1977, Los Angeles sent him to the New York Mets for pitcher Hank Webb. His 1976 Topps card is #622.
Rick Auerbach grew up in Woodland Hills, California, and went to Taft High School. The California Angels drafted him in the 13th round in 1968, but he played at Los Angeles Pierce College instead, and the expansion Seattle Pilots took him in the 1969 secondary draft. He reached Milwaukee in 1971 and played 11 major league seasons, with the Brewers, Dodgers, Reds and Mariners, finishing with a .220 average, 9 home runs and 86 RBIs. Most of his work was as a shortstop and utility infielder behind the regulars. He played in two National League Championship Series, in 1974 with the Dodgers and in 1979 with the Reds. His pro career ended after 1981 with Seattle, and he later worked as a farrier and, as of 2012, lived in Calabasas, California.
