Fred Lynn Stats by Baseball Almanac

Fredric Michael Lynn was a Major League Baseball player with the Boston Red Sox (1974-1980), California Angels (1981-1984), Baltimore Orioles (1985-1988), Detroit Tigers (1988-1989), and San Diego Padres (1990). Did you know that Fred, his nickname, was the fifth ballplayer (Tony Malinosky, Tod Davis, Tom Morgan, Doug Griffin) out of El Monte High School (El Monte, CA), and their first graduate to play in an All-Star Game?

Did you know Fred Lynn was the first player in Major League history to win both a Most Valuable Player Award and a Rookie of the Year Award during the same season (1975)? The future Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame inductee (2002), and College Baseball Hall of Fame inductee (2007), also won the first of four Gold Gloves that rookie year — a trifecta that went unmatched in baseball history until 2001! Do you remember who duplicated this amazing feat? [Answer]

Fred Lynn Rookie Card | 1975 Topps Baseball Card (#622)
Baseball Almanac Collection

Fred Lynn was named to the American League All-Star team for the ninth consecutive time in 1983 — the 50th Anniversary of the All-Star Game. In the third inning, Robin Yount was on first base, Rod Carew was on second and Manny Trillo was on third, Lynn crushed a 2-2 hanging slider served-up by lefty Atlee Hammaker into the right field seats, the first grand slam in the 50-year history of the Midsummer Classic. Lynn recalled the historic grand slam:

"There aren�t too many times when somebody walks the guy in front of me, to get to me. It happened once (while he played for Southern Cal) in the College World Series against the University of Texas. Same scenario, first open, guy on second. Bring in a lefty. I hit a three-run homer, we knock them out of the series and we go on to win the championship. It's hard to control your emotions, because you�re pissed off. I understand the strategy because Robin Yount was reigning MVP, so you walk him to load the bases. Still what am I, chopped liver? It gets my full attention. I get fully focused. The crowd is no longer there. It's just me and Atlee. He actually threw two good breaking balls, and I missed them both early in the count. Then I ran the count to 2-2. This is the pitch he's got to make because he doesn�t want to go 3-2. He's got to go to the breaking ball, because it's his best pitch. I was looking for it. Had he threw his fastball, he probably would have struck me out. But he threw his breaking ball again and I hit it out."
