1979 Topps #175 George Hendrick
About George Hendrick
On August 25, 1978, Hendrick hit two home runs and drove in a career-high seven runs in an 11-10 win at Atlanta. His season was split between San Diego and St. Louis and ended with 20 home runs and 75 RBI. Card #175 pictures him as a Cardinal.
George Hendrick was a 6-foot-3 right-handed outfielder who played 18 major-league seasons, 1971 through 1988, for Oakland, Cleveland, San Diego, St. Louis, Pittsburgh and California. Oakland made the Los Angeles native the first overall pick of the January 1968 draft, and he won a World Series ring with the 1972 Athletics. His power bat made him a four-time All-Star, in 1974, 1975, 1980 and 1983, and he won Silver Slugger awards in 1980 as an outfielder and in 1983 as a first baseman. He played for the 1982 St. Louis Cardinals, who beat Milwaukee in seven games for the World Series, and went 9 for 28 with five RBI in that Series. He finished with a .278 average, 267 home runs and 1,111 RBI. He was known as Silent George for refusing to talk to the media, and critics sometimes questioned his hustle in the outfield. After playing he coached in the Cardinals, Angels and Dodgers organizations and was named Tampa Bay's first base coach in November 2005, a post he held through the 2014 season.
