1978 Topps #150 Bobby Bonds
About Bobby Bonds
Bobby Bonds hit 37 home runs for the 1977 Angels, tying the club record, and drove in 115 runs. He also stole 41 bases and batted .264 in 158 games. The Sporting News named him an American League All-Star outfielder. The 1978 Topps #150 pictures him with California, but on December 5, 1977, he went to the White Sox with Richard Dotson and Thad Bosley for Brian Downing, Chris Knapp and Dave Frost. Chicago sent him to Texas on May 16, 1978.
Bobby Bonds was a right fielder who combined power and speed across 14 major league seasons from 1968 to 1981, the first seven with the San Francisco Giants. Called up on June 25, 1968, he hit a grand slam in his third at-bat of his first game, the first player of the modern era to hit a slam in his debut. Bonds became the first player with more than two 30-homer, 30-steal seasons, finishing with a record five, and the second after Willie Mays to reach 300 home runs and 300 stolen bases. A three-time All-Star (1971, 1973, 1975) and three-time Gold Glove winner (1971, 1973, 1974), he was the All-Star Game MVP and The Sporting News NL Player of the Year in 1973. That year he hit a career-high 39 homers and stole 43 bases. He also struck out often, twice setting the single-season strikeout record. After the 1974 season the Giants traded him to the Yankees for Bobby Murcer, and he played for seven more clubs by 1981, finishing with 332 home runs and 461 steals. He was the Indians' hitting instructor from 1984 to 1987 and a Giants coach again in 1993. Bonds is the father of Barry Bonds, and together they hold the father-son records for combined home runs, RBIs and stolen bases.
