(3) RUSTY TORRES INDEX CARD SIGNED 1971-80 YANKEES ROYALS PSA/DNA CERTIFIEDRosando “Rusty” Torres Hernández (born September 30, 1948, in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico) is a former professional baseball outfielder. He played all or part of nine season in Major League Baseball for five different teams. In an odd coincidence, Torres happened to be in the ballpark when forfeits were called in three different games in the 1970sNew York YankeesTorres made his major league debut as a 22-year-old rookie with the New York Yankees on September 20, 1971, singling in four trips against Baltimore. That same day, the Washington Senators announced they would move to Dallas/Fort Worth for the 1972 season. After a 4-for-5 day (with his first major league home run) against Detroit on September 26, the Yankees started Torres in right field for its final three games of the season in Washington – the last three games the Senators would ever play there. (The relocated Texas Rangerswould finally return to the nation’s capital for an interleague series in 2008.)Forfeit #1: Senators’ last game in WashingtonOn the season’s final day, September 30 (Torres’ 23rd birthday), the Senators were leading 7–5 with two outs in the top of the ninth when Yankee Horace Clarke stepped to the plate; if he got on, Torres (who already had two hits including a homer) would have been next to bat. Suddenly, outraged Senators fans stormed the field, causing the game to be forfeited to New York. In a 2007 interview, Torres gave his view of the situation: “Bobby Murcer hits a ground ball. He gets thrown at first. They thought it was three outs. It was only two outs. And they rushed us! They rushed the field. They took dirt. People were taking dirt, taking the bases. They were tearing up the seats. It was unbelievable. That was a real scary experience. Thankfully, none of us got hurt.”1972Torres finished 1971 with a .385 batting average, with 10 hits in 26 at bats. The following season, Torres made the Yankees out of spring training, appearing on Opening Day as a pinch hitter. However, Torres hit just .211 in 199 at bats in 1972, earning himself a demotion back to Syracuse in late July. After the season he was dealt to the Cleveland Indians in a six-player deal that brought third baseman Graig Nettles to New York.Cleveland IndiansTorres was the Indians’ Opening Day right fielder and leadoff hitter in 1973. He started 51 games in right field for the Indians that season, more than any other player. Overall, he appeared in 121 games in his first full major league season, but hit just .205. Still, his defensive skills were enough for him to claim a regular spot in the lineup of the lowly Indians.They were not, however, enough for him to keep that spot in 1974. John Lowenstein moved into the lineup as the everyday left fielder, with Charlie Spikes moving into Torres’ position in right field. With Leron Lee also joining the team, Torres became the Indians’ fifth outfielder.Forfeit #2: Ten Cent Beer NightMain article: Ten Cent Beer NightOn June 4, the Indians decided to hold a promotion to attract fans to the park in a game against Texas: the now-infamous Ten Cent Beer Night. Torres did not start the game, but was inserted as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning, delivering a single. Two batters later, John Lowenstein hit a sacrifice fly, tying the game at 5–5, and putting Torres in scoring position (on second base) with the chance to score the game-winning run for Cleveland. But with a crowd that had been consuming as much alcohol as they could for nine innings, the situation finally boiled over. After Texas outfielder Jeff Burroughs violently reacted to a fan stealing his glove, hundreds of fans poured into the outfield, many of them throwing whatever they could lay their hands on, even several chairs. As a result, umpire crew chief Nestor Chylak forfeited the contest to the Rangers—the same franchise, of course, as the old Senators.September tradeTorres hit a miserable .187 in 1974, starting just 27 games, mostly in center field. On September 12, he was traded to the California Angels in a deal that brought Frank Robinson to Cleveland. However, he did not play for the Angels during the remainder of the season.California AngelsTorres spent the entire 1975 season in the minors. Playing for the Salt Lake City Gulls, Torres batted a minor league career best .306 in 107 games. During the following offseason, the Angels traded their starting center fielder, Mickey Rivers, to the Yankees. In return, they received right fielder Bobby Bonds. This sent their 1975 starting right fielder, Leroy Stanton, to the bench, opening up a spot for Torres.Torres was the Angels’ Opening Day center fielder that year. Overall, he appeared in 120 games for the 1976 Angels, 104 of them in center field. He had one of his best seasons at the plate in 1976—he had just a .205 batting average, but with several walks and decent power to make him a near-league-average offensive player (98 OPS+) that year.Once again, however, Torres could not hold onto a starting job. The Angels gave the center field job to Gil Flores in 1977. Combined with other acquisitions, Torres wound up buried deep on the bench. Despite spending the entire season in the majors, Torres totaled just 77 at bats with an anemic .156 batting average. He became a free agent at the end of the year.Chicago White SoxAfter spending most of the winter without a team, Torres was signed on March 1 by the Texas Rangers. Torres started 1978 back in the minor leagues for the first time in three years, playing for the Tucson Toros. He got off to a hot start, batting .346 with 7 home runs in just 30 games. On May 16, Rusty was traded again to the Chicago White Sox along with Claudell Washington for, coincidentally, Bobby Bonds. After spending a few months with the minor league Iowa Oaks, Torres earned another shot at the majors in September. In 16 games down the stretch, Torres managed to hit at a .316 clip in 44 at bats.Torres made the White Sox Opening Day roster in 1979. He was batting .286 for the 1979 season by the morning of July 12; that night, Torres would start in right field in the first game of a doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers.Forfeit #3: Disco Demolition NightMain article: Disco Demolition NightUnfortunately, that night the White Sox decided to stage a promotion: Disco Demolition Night. This time, at least, Rusty wasn’t on the field when the madness started; the first game had ended and Torres (who had singled and scored the Sox’ only run in the 4–1 loss) was in the dressing room when disc jockey Steve Dahl “blew up” a box of disco records, causing thousands of fans to run onto the field, which was eventually cleared by police in riot gear. Tigers manager Sparky Anderson refused to field his team citing safety concerns, which resulted in the forfeiture by the White Sox to the Tigers.Remaining careerTorres finished the 1979 season with a .253 average and a career-high eight home runs. He became a free agent again at the end of the season, re-signing with the White Sox before spring training. However, he did not make the club, and was released on April 1. A month later, on May 5, he was signed by the Kansas City Royals. He played eight games for the Omaha Royals to get in shape, then was promoted to the majors. In 51 games for the Royals, however, Torres batted just .167 without an extra base hit, and was released on August 29.The following January, Torres signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates. He spent the entire 1981 season with their top farm club, the Portland Beavers, batting .257 with 21 home runs. However, it was not enough to get him back to the majors, and after the season he called it a career at age 33.
