1976 Topps #608 Vic Correll
About Vic Correll
Correll caught 65 of his 69 games for the 1976 Braves, a last-place club that used five catchers, and hit .225 with five home runs. He also played winter ball for Lara in Venezuela. On June 22, 1975, Giants pitcher Pete Falcone had a no-hitter through 7 2/3 innings when he walked Correll. First baseman Willie Montanez then tapped Correll with his glove; Correll swung and missed, a fight broke out, and Montanez was ejected. Topps #608 shows him with Atlanta.
Vic Correll was a right-handed-hitting catcher who played parts of eight seasons, 1972 through 1980, for the Boston Red Sox, Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds. A Washington, D.C., native and the son of an Air Force colonel, he went to McClenaghan High School in Florence, South Carolina, and Georgia Southern, and was a ninth-round pick of the Cleveland Indians in 1967. He debuted for Boston in the last game of the 1972 season, singling twice and driving in the winning run. Traded to Atlanta in March 1974, he caught behind Johnny Oates and was behind the plate when Hank Aaron hit his 715th home run. His most productive season was 1975, when he set career highs with 103 games, 11 home runs and 39 RBI. He backed up Johnny Bench in Cincinnati in 1978 and 1979 and finished with 410 games, a .229 average and 29 home runs. After he retired he trained dogs and guided hunters on plantations in South Georgia.
