Bobby RichardsonSpeaker and Booking Agent Information

His best year was probably 1962, when he batted .302 with 8 home runs and 50 runs batted in. His 209 hits led the American League, and he stole 11 bases in 161 games.

He made the AL All-Star team once again that year, won his second Gold Glove, and came in second in the AL MVP voting, just behind teammate Mickey Mantle. He also led the league in at bats three times, and would come to be known as a workhorse, rarely missing a game.

His career high was 692 at bats in 161 games in 1962. He had an all-time fielding percentage of .979 at second base. Richardson won 3 World Series in the 7 he played in, all with the Yankees.

He made the final out of the 1962 Series, snaring a screaming line drive off the bat of Willie McCovey, that if it were two or three feet higher would have won the Series for the San Francisco Giants.

He was named World Series MVP in 1960 when he helped the Yankees against the Pittsburgh Pirates, although they lost in a Series in which normally light-hitting second basemen shone at the plate. During that Series, he hit .367 with 11 hits in 30 at bats.

He had a home run and 12 RBIs, and also racked up 2 doubles and 2 triples in the 7-game series. To this day, Richardson remains the only World Series MVP selected from the losing team.
