1977 Topps #286 Johnny Grubb
About Johnny Grubb
Grubb hit .284 in 109 games for San Diego in 1976, and his #286 card carries that club. After the season he went to Cleveland with catcher Fred Kendall and infielder Hector Torres in the trade for outfielder George Hendrick.
Johnny Grubb was a left-handed-hitting outfielder who played 16 major league seasons, 1972 to 1987, with the Padres, Indians, Rangers and Tigers. A Richmond, Virginia native, he played at Manatee Junior College and Florida State, whose 1970 team went 49-9 and finished second at the College World Series. San Diego signed him as the 24th pick of the secondary phase in 1971. He debuted September 10, 1972, hit .311 as the Padres' 1973 center fielder and made the 1974 National League All-Star team. After trades to Cleveland and then Texas, he adjusted to the designated hitter role in the American League, and he finished his career in Detroit, where he was a member of the 1984 World Series champions. He retired with a .278 average, 99 home runs and 475 RBI in 1,424 games. In 1986 he hit .333 with 13 home runs for the Tigers.
