Hector Cruz Autographed 1982 Donruss #57 Chicago Cubs Card

Featuring Hector Cruz with the Chicago Cubs, this Hector Cruz autographed 1982 Donruss #57 Chicago Cubs card showcases the versatile Puerto Rican player during the final season of his Major League career.

Born in Arroyo, Puerto Rico, Cruz signed with the St. Louis Cardinals organization and made his Major League debut in 1973.

Cruz enjoyed his most productive Major League season with the Cardinals in 1976, appearing in 140 games while collecting 108 hits, 13 home runs and 71 RBI. His performance established him as a valuable right-handed hitter who could provide power and defensive flexibility.

Following his time with St. Louis, Cruz played for the Chicago Cubs, joining the organization for the 1978 season. He continued his career with the San Francisco Giants and Cincinnati Reds before returning to Chicago in the early 1980s.

The 1982 Donruss #57 features Cruz during his second stint with the Cubs. His Major League career concluded in 1982, making this card one of the later issues from his playing days.

Across nine Major League seasons, Cruz appeared in more than 600 games, contributing as a versatile infielder and outfielder. His career also connects him to a notable Puerto Rican baseball family that included his brothers Jos and Tommy Cruz, both of whom reached the Major Leagues.

The 1982 Donruss #57 is an appealing addition for Chicago Cubs collectors, Hector Cruz fans, Puerto Rican baseball collections, early Donruss enthusiasts or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
