Claudell Washington Autographed 1982 Donruss #58 Atlanta Braves Card
Featuring Claudell Washington with the Atlanta Braves, this Claudell Washington autographed 1982 Donruss #58 Atlanta Braves card showcases the talented outfielder during the early years of his successful tenure in Atlanta.
The Oakland Athletics signed Washington as an amateur free agent in 1972, and he made his Major League debut in 1974 at just 19 years old. His combination of speed, power and athleticism quickly made him one of baseball's promising young outfielders.
Washington contributed to the 1974 Oakland Athletics World Series championship team, gaining valuable postseason experience early in his career. In 1975, he enjoyed an outstanding season, batting .308 with 160 hits, 10 home runs and 77 RBI, earning his first American League All-Star selection at just 20 years old.
After playing for the Texas Rangers, Chicago White Sox and New York Mets, Washington joined the Atlanta Braves for the 1981 season. He quickly became an important part of Atlanta's lineup, providing a combination of left-handed power, speed and experience.
During the 1982 season, Washington helped lead the Braves to the National League West championship, their first division title since 1969. He batted .266 with 16 home runs and 80 RBI, contributing to an Atlanta team that famously opened the season with 13 consecutive victories.
Washington remained with the Braves through 1986, earning his second All-Star selection in 1984. He later played for the New York Yankees and California Angels, completing a 17-season Major League career with 1,884 hits, 164 home runs, 824 RBI and 312 stolen bases.
The 1982 Donruss #58 is an appealing addition for Atlanta Braves collectors, Claudell Washington fans, 1982 National League West championship collections, early Donruss enthusiasts or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
