Featuring Kiko Garcia with the Baltimore Orioles, this Kiko Garcia autographed 1979 Topps #543 Baltimore Orioles card showcases the versatile infielder during the early portion of his Major League career.

Garcia was selected by the Baltimore Orioles in the third round of the 1971 MLB Draft and made his Major League debut in 1976. A dependable defensive infielder capable of playing shortstop, second base and third base, he gradually earned a larger role with Baltimore during the late 1970s.

He batted .247 with 111 hits, 18 doubles, five home runs and 36 RBI while helping the Orioles compile a Major League-best 102-57 record and capture the American League East championship.

He played an important role in Baltimore's postseason success, helping the Orioles defeat the California Angels in the American League Championship Series. Garcia delivered a particularly memorable performance in Game 7 of the 1979 World Series against the Pittsburgh Pirates, collecting four hits and driving in two runs despite Baltimore ultimately falling to Pittsburgh.

Garcia remained with the Orioles through 1980 before continuing his career with the Houston Astros and Philadelphia Phillies. He played parts of 10 Major League seasons, appearing in more than 600 games.

The 1979 Topps #543 is an appealing addition for Baltimore Orioles collectors, Kiko Garcia fans, 1979 American League championship collections, vintage Topps enthusiasts or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
