About Joe Rudi
Rudi played 133 games for California in 1978, 111 of them in the outfield. He hit .256 with 17 home runs and 79 RBI. His 1979 Topps Angels card was #267. On August 15, 1979, he injured his right Achilles tendon running out an infield hit in Detroit. The injury ended his season, and he missed the club's postseason games.
Joe Rudi played left field for Oakland's three consecutive World Series championship teams from 1972 through 1974. He batted .300 in 70 at-bats in those Series. A three-time All-Star and three-time Gold Glove winner, he led the American League in hits in 1972 and total bases in 1974, finishing second in MVP voting both years. Kansas City scout Don Pries signed him out of Modesto, California, in 1964. He made his major-league debut in 1967 and stayed with the Athletics when they moved to Oakland. After later stops with California and Boston, he returned to Oakland for his final major-league season in 1982. Across sixteen seasons, he batted .264 with 179 home runs and 810 RBI in 1,547 games. The Athletics inducted him into their team Hall of Fame in 2022.
