Featuring Von Hayes with the Philadelphia Phillies, this Von Hayes autographed 1990 Leaf #52 Philadelphia Phillies card comes from the highly regarded 1990 Leaf set, a release that stood apart from many contemporary baseball card products with its clean design and premium presentation. The card captures Hayes near the end of one of the most productive stretches of his Phillies career.
Hayes joined Philadelphia before the 1983 season after beginning his Major League career with Cleveland. He immediately became part of a Phillies club that captured the 1983 National League pennant and went on to establish himself as a versatile offensive contributor capable of playing both the outfield and first base.
His finest all-around season came in 1986, when Hayes 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, demonstrating the combination of extra-base power, speed and on-base ability that made him an important part of the Philadelphia lineup.
Hayes earned his lone National League All-Star selection in 1989, batting .259 with a career-high 26 home runs, 28 doubles, 78 RBI and 21 stolen bases. Earlier in his Phillies career, he also made history on June 11, 1985, by becoming 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 1990 Leaf #52 is an appealing issue for Phillies collectors, Von Hayes fans, 1990 Leaf set collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
