Featuring Jerry Martin with the Chicago Cubs, this Jerry Martin autographed 1981 Fleer #295 Chicago Cubs card showcases the outfielder during his second season in Chicago after beginning his Major League career with the Philadelphia Phillies.
Martin reached the Major Leagues with the Phillies in 1974 and became a regular contributor to clubs that won three consecutive National League East championships from 1976 through 1978. His combination of power, speed and defensive versatility allowed him to play all three outfield positions.
Following the 1978 season, Martin was traded to the Chicago Cubs as part of the multi-player deal that sent Manny Trillo to Philadelphia. Martin immediately enjoyed the most productive offensive season of his career in 1979, setting career highs with 19 home runs and 73 RBI while appearing in 150 games.
Martin followed with another solid season in 1980, hitting 23 doubles and 10 home runs while appearing in 143 games for Chicago. His 1981 Fleer #295 represents the final portion of his Cubs tenure before he continued his career with the San Francisco Giants and Kansas City Royals.
Martin played 11 Major League seasons with the Phillies, Cubs, Giants and Royals, finishing with 1,048 hits, 85 home runs and 369 RBI. The 1981 Fleer #295 is an appealing addition for Cubs collectors, Jerry Martin fans, early Fleer collectors, 1970s and 1980s baseball collections or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
