1976 Topps #432 Tom Veryzer
About Tom Veryzer
On June 28, 1976, Veryzer rode to Tiger Stadium for Monday Night Baseball against the Yankees with Mark Fidrych and joked that the fans lined up outside had not come to see him play shortstop. He appeared in 97 games and hit .234; on August 18 he tore ligaments in his right ankle sliding into second on a forceout, and the injury ended his season. His #432 card carries the Topps All-Star Rookie trophy for his place on the 1975 rookie team.
Tom Veryzer played 12 major league seasons, primarily at shortstop, for the Tigers, Indians, Mets and Cubs. Detroit chose him 11th overall in the 1971 draft out of Islip High School on Long Island. He debuted on August 14, 1973, with an RBI single in his first at-bat. He became Detroit's regular shortstop in 1975, and his two-out double in the ninth inning on June 8 broke up Ken Holtzman's no-hit bid at Oakland. On May 15, 1981, he fielded Alfredo Griffin's grounder for the first out of Len Barker's perfect game. Veryzer hit .241 with 14 home runs in 996 games. His only postseason at-bat came for the Cubs in the 1984 National League Championship Series. He was inducted into the Suffolk Sports Hall of Fame in 1995.
