1978 Topps #130 Jeff Burroughs
About Jeff Burroughs
Burroughs appears as a Brave on #130 after his 1977 season in Atlanta: a .271 average, 41 home runs and 114 RBI. Only George Foster, with 52, hit more home runs in the majors. Fans hung a banner beneath the right-field deck called Jeff's Jackpot that showed his home run total plus one.
Jeff Burroughs was a right-handed power-hitting outfielder who played 16 seasons, 1970 to 1985, for the Senators, Rangers, Braves, Mariners, Athletics and Blue Jays. The Senators made him the first overall pick of the 1969 draft out of Long Beach's Woodrow Wilson High School. He won the 1974 American League MVP award with Texas, leading the league with 118 RBI while batting .301 with 25 home runs, and was the first Ranger to win it. Ted Williams called him the greatest young hitter he had seen. He was an All-Star in 1974 and 1978. He finished with a .261 average, 240 home runs and 882 RBI, and in 1985 made his only postseason appearance, one pinch-hit at-bat in the ALCS for Toronto. His son Sean Burroughs also reached the majors, and Jeff later coached Long Beach to Little League World Series titles in 1992 and 1993.
