1977 Topps #40 Bobby Murcer
About Bobby Murcer
Murcer's 1976 with San Francisco brought 23 home runs, 90 RBI and 84 walks, and on September 29 he caught the final out of John Montefusco's no-hitter. His 1977 Topps card, #40, shows him as a Giant, although the club traded him to the Cubs on February 11, 1977, for Bill Madlock and Rob Sperring.
Bobby Murcer was a five-time All-Star outfielder who played for the Yankees, Giants and Cubs over 17 major league seasons. Yankees scout Tom Greenwade, who had also signed Mickey Mantle, signed Murcer in June 1964. He finished his playing career with a .277 average, 1,862 hits, 252 home runs and 1,043 RBI, and won a Gold Glove in 1972. After retiring in 1983, he joined the Yankees' television broadcast team. In 1987, he also coached the club's left-handed hitters before returning to broadcasting. Away from the microphone, Murcer became part-owner and president of the Oklahoma City 89ers and chaired the Baseball Assistance Team, which provided financial help to former players and other baseball personnel.
