1979 Topps #265 Don Money
About Don Money
Money filled in at first base for the injured Cecil Cooper in 1978. Voters chose him as the American League's All-Star starter at second base, the first Brewer elected to start the game. His 1979 Topps #265 carried the All-Star designation.
Don Money played 16 major league seasons with the Philadelphia Phillies and Milwaukee Brewers. Pittsburgh signed the infielder out of La Plata High School in Maryland in 1965 and traded him to Philadelphia in the 1967 deal for Jim Bunning. In 1974, Money set a major league record by playing 86 consecutive errorless games at third base within one season. He batted .261 for his career with 1,623 hits and 176 home runs. He drove in 729 runs and was an All-Star in 1974, 1976, 1977 and 1978. He reached the postseason with Milwaukee in 1981 and 1982, appearing in the Brewers' 7-game World Series loss to St. Louis in 1982. He entered the Brewers Walk of Fame in 2005.
