1977 Topps #384 Darrel Chaney
About Darrel Chaney
Chaney's 1977 Topps card, #384, pictures him with the Braves. Dave Bristol, his first major-league manager with the Reds, had told him he would try to trade for him if he had the opportunity, and Bristol was managing in Atlanta when Chaney arrived. After the 1976 season the Braves returned Chaney to a utility infield role.
Darrel Chaney was a switch-hitting shortstop who spent 11 major-league seasons, 1969 through 1979, mostly with the Cincinnati Reds. Drafted by the Reds in the second round in 1966, he broke through with 23 home runs at Double-A Asheville in 1968 before reaching the majors the next spring. From 1970 he was mostly a utility infielder, filling in at short, second and third for the Big Red Machine teams that won three pennants and the 1975 World Series. He was traded to the Atlanta Braves in December 1975 for Mike Lum and got a full season as the Braves' regular shortstop in 1976 before returning to utility work through 1979. He finished his career with a .217 average, 14 home runs and 190 RBI in 915 games. After his playing days ended he became a Braves television and radio broadcaster alongside Ernie Johnson, Skip Caray and Pete Van Wieren, and later worked in business and as a motivational speaker.
