Keith Moreland Autographed 1982 Fleer #252 Philadelphia Phillies Card

Featuring Keith Moreland with the Philadelphia Phillies, this Keith Moreland autographed 1982 Fleer #252 Philadelphia Phillies card showcases the versatile catcher and outfielder who helped Philadelphia capture its first World Series championship in 1980.

The Phillies selected Moreland in the seventh round of the 1975 MLB Draft out of the University of Texas, where he had established himself as an accomplished collegiate player. He made his Major League debut with Philadelphia in 1978 and developed into a valuable member of the team's roster.

Moreland provided the Phillies with versatility, contributing primarily as a catcher while also offering a dependable right-handed bat. His ability to make contact and deliver timely hits helped him earn playing time on a veteran Philadelphia club that regularly competed for National League championships.

During the 1980 season, Moreland appeared in 62 regular-season games and batted .314, providing valuable offensive production as the Phillies battled the Montreal Expos for the National League East title.

Moreland also contributed during Philadelphia's memorable postseason run. He appeared in the 1980 World Series against the Kansas City Royals, collecting four hits in the series as the Phillies captured the first World Series championship in franchise history.

Following the championship season, Moreland was traded to the Chicago Cubs in December 1980. Although the 1982 Fleer #252 features him with Philadelphia, the card was issued after he had already begun the next chapter of his Major League career with Chicago.

Moreland went on to enjoy several productive seasons with the Cubs, becoming a regular in their lineup and helping Chicago capture the 1984 National League East championship. In 1985, he hit 14 home runs and drove in 70 runs, demonstrating the offensive ability that made him a dependable Major League contributor.

Over a 12-season Major League career, Moreland played for the Phillies, Cubs, Padres, Tigers and Orioles, finishing with 121 home runs. His place on Philadelphia's 1980 championship roster remains an important part of his baseball legacy.

The 1982 Fleer #252 is an appealing addition for Philadelphia Phillies collectors, Keith Moreland fans, 1980 World Series championship collections, University of Texas baseball enthusiasts or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
