1977 Topps #191 Doug Griffin
About Doug Griffin
Griffin appeared in five games for Boston in 1977, went hitless in six at-bats and was released, with his last game coming on June 2. Card #191 lists him with the Red Sox. In 1976 he had played 49 games and hit .189 with four RBI.
Doug Griffin was a slick-fielding second baseman who played eight seasons in the majors, one with the California Angels and seven with the Boston Red Sox. The Angels drafted him in the 21st round in 1965, and after two years in the Navy at Pearl Harbor he hit .326 for Hawaii in 1970 and was named the Pacific Coast League's Rookie of the Year. He debuted with the Angels on September 11, 1970, and a month later was traded to Boston in the deal that sent Tony Conigliaro to California. He was the Red Sox regular at second base from 1971 until mid-1975 and won the 1972 Gold Glove. Injuries repeatedly interrupted his seasons: a broken hand in 1972, another fracture in 1973, and beanings from Nolan Ryan in 1974 and Dick Bosman in 1975. Denny Doyle took most of the second-base work in 1975, and Griffin made one brief appearance in that year's World Series. His playing career ended in 1977, and he later worked in construction. He finished with a .245 average and 7 home runs in 632 games.
