Detailed Biography of Bobby Grich
|
|
Grich had a very successful player career with Baltimore and the Angels for over 15 seasons. The main reason that sets him apart from the other second basemen of his generation, was the combination of fielding and hitting. He won four consecutive Gold Gloves and made the American League All-Star squad six times.
In 1973, the Orioles traded Davey Johnson to the Braves in order to make room for Grich at second base. He was an excellent fielder, with good range, soft hands, and a good arm, and he was steady turning the double play. In 1973, he set an all-time major league fielding record with a .995 fielding percentage, and 12 seasons later in 1985, he broke the record again (.997).
With the bat, Grich belted 19 homeruns with 82 RBI in 1974. Then, in 1979, he batted .294, adding 30 homers and 101 RBI, but he had his best offensive performance in the strike-shortened 1981 season. Grich tied the lead in homeruns (22, along with Tony Armas and Dwight Evans), led in slugging average (.543), and hit a career-high .304.
Grich had back luck in the post-season with the Orioles. First, losing the ALCS against Oakland (1973-74); later, joining in on the continual Angels failures against his former team (1979) and the Brewers (1982). Grich came closest in his final MLB season (1986), when the Angels blew a 5-2 lead to the Red Sox with two-outs in the ninth inning of Game Five, then lost Games Six and Seven as well. After the final out, Grich announced his retirement .
In 17-years career Grich batted .266, with 224 homeruns, 864 RBI, 1033 runs, 1833 hits, 320 doubles, 47 triples, 104 stolen bases, and a .371 on base percentage in 2008 games.
