Former Phillies outfielder Bake McBride has an opportunity to enter the team’s Wall of Fame this summer. A critical piece to the 1980 World Series team, McBride began his career in St Louis. He won Rookie of the Year honors in 1974, batting .309 with 30 stolen bases and 56 RBI.
McBride hit over .300 the next two seasons as well, with a career-high .335 in 1976, earning him his only All-Star appearance.
McBride was hitting .262 with the Cardinals in 1977 through 42 games before being traded to the Phillies for Tom Underwood, Dane Lorg, and Rick Bosetti.
