Joe Adcock
1962 Topps
Joseph Wilbur "Billy Joe" Adcock (October 30, 1927 – May 3, 1999) was a power-hitting and clean-fielding first baseman in the 1950s-1960s. He was originally signed by the Cincinnati Reds, but was stuck behind Ted Kluszewski at first base. After being dealt to the Milwaukee Braves in 1953, he quickly became an integral part of their lineup. Though rarely a league leader, Joe Adcock was routinely in the top 15 in the league in many offensive categories. He starred 10 years for the Braves before being dealt to Cleveland, where he played a single season. Adcock wrapped up his career playing three seasons for the Angels (1963-1966). At the time of his retirement, he had the third-highest career fielding percentage for a first baseman (.994), a .277 batting average and 336 home runs. Joe Adcock managed the Cleveland Indians in 1967, finishing eighth in the league with a 75-87 record.
