1977 Topps #323 Larry Lintz
About Larry Lintz
Lintz made Oakland's Opening Day roster in 1977 and got a nine-game trial as the starting second baseman in April, going 3-for-27 before he went back to pinch-running. In mid-June the A's sent him down to San Jose, and they recalled him that September. He finished with 13 stolen bases and 11 runs scored in 41 games for Oakland. Topps #323 lists him with Oakland. In mid-May 1978 he signed with Cleveland as a free agent.
Larry Lintz was a 5-foot-9, 150-pound switch-hitting second baseman and base stealer who played 350 major league games from 1973 to 1978 for the Montreal Expos, St. Louis Cardinals, Oakland Athletics and Cleveland Indians. A sixth-round pick out of San Jose State in 1971, he stole 96 bases for Quebec in 1972, an Eastern League record. With Montreal in 1974 he hit .238 and stole 50 bases, fifth in the National League and then a club record. Traded to the Cardinals in July 1975 for Jim Dwyer and to Oakland that October for Charlie Chant, he became one of Charlie Finley's designated runners, pinch-running in 140 of his 350 games. He finished with 128 steals and a .227 average, and last played in the majors on May 30, 1978, with Cleveland.
