There is a very slight tear on the right border halfway down Bobby Adams (December 14, 1921 - February 13, 1997) was a third baseman & second baseman. He played from 1946 through 1959 for the Cincinnati Reds, Chicago White Sox, Baltimore Orioles & Chicago Cubs. He was born in Tuolumne County, California. in a 14-season career, Adams posted a .269 batting average with 37 home runs & 303 RBI in 1281 games played. Adams started his Major League career in 1946 with Cincinnati as their regular second baseman. Despite his infield background, the next five years he served mostly as a backup for Grady Hatton (3B) & Connie Ryan (2B). Finally, Adams became the regular third baseman for Cincinnati in 1951. His most productive season came in 1952, when he led the National League in singles (152), at-bats (637) & games (154), while batting .283 with career-numbers in hits (180) & doubles (25). He also was considered in National League MVP voting. in the 1955 midseason, Adams was purchased by the Chicago White Sox. Traded to the Baltimore Orioles before 1956, he also played for the Chicago Cubs from 1957 to 1959, helping young infielders improve their play. Following his playing career, Adams continued as a coach with the Cubs & was a member of the team's experimental College of Coaches. in 1966, the organization named him club president of the Triple-A Tacoma Cubs of the Pacific Coast League. But Adams' six-year tenure in Tacoma ended after the 1971 season, when Chicago moved its Triple-A affiliate to Wichita, Kansas. After that, he again coached for the Cubs, in 1973, then retired from baseball. Rest assured that we take great pride in our business, & we back all purchases with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
