About Willie Randolph
Randolph played 134 games for the 1978 Yankees, hitting .279 with 36 stolen bases. An injury kept him out of the World Series that fall, and the Yankees beat the Dodgers without him. His 1979 card is #250. In 1979 he played a career-high 153 games, had 155 hits and led American League second basemen in putouts, assists and double plays.
Willie Randolph was a second baseman who played 18 seasons, 1975 to 1992, and spent 13 of them with the New York Yankees. A Brooklyn-raised product of Samuel J. Tilden High School, he was a seventh-round pick of the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1972 and reached the majors in July 1975. He was the Yankees' regular second baseman from 1976 to 1988, co-captain with Ron Guidry from 1986 to 1988, and won two World Series with the club. He made six All-Star teams, won the 1980 Silver Slugger Award at second base and led the league with 119 walks that year. His career line was a .276 average with 2,210 hits and 271 stolen bases. He finished with the Dodgers, Athletics, Brewers and Mets, hitting .327 for Milwaukee in 1991. As a coach he spent 11 years on the Yankees' staff, then managed the New York Mets from 2005 to June 2008, taking them to a 97-65 record and the NLCS in 2006. The Yankees honored him with a Monument Park plaque in 2015.
