Featuring Von Hayes with the Philadelphia Phillies, this Von Hayes autographed 1989 Upper Deck #246 Philadelphia Phillies card comes from Upper Deck's landmark inaugural baseball release. Hayes was one of Philadelphia's most productive and versatile players throughout the 1980s, combining extra-base power, speed and the ability to play both the outfield and first base.
Hayes began his Major League career with the Cleveland Indians in 1981 before Philadelphia acquired him following the 1982 season. He immediately became part of the Phillies team that captured the 1983 National League pennant and went on to spend nine seasons in Philadelphia.
One of Hayes' finest all-around seasons came in 1986, when he batted .305 with 46 doubles, 19 home runs, 98 RBI and 24 stolen bases. He led the National League with 107 runs scored and 46 doubles while establishing career highs in several offensive categories.
Hayes enjoyed another standout year in 1989, batting .259 with a career-high 26 home runs, 28 doubles, 78 RBI and 21 stolen bases. That performance earned him his first and only National League All-Star selection. Earlier in his Phillies career, Hayes also made baseball history on June 11, 1985, when he became the first Major League player to hit two home runs in the first inning of a game.
Over 12 Major League seasons, Hayes collected 1,402 hits, 143 home runs, 696 RBI and 253 stolen bases. The 1989 Upper Deck #246 is an appealing addition for Phillies collectors, Von Hayes fans, inaugural Upper Deck set collectors, 1980s baseball collections or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
