1978 Topps Baseball #354 - Cesar Geronimo

.



  • Cesar Geronimo is listed as the starting center fielder for the 1978 Cincinnati Reds, but he only had 296 at bats and started only 86 times. Dave Collins was coming up at that time and he would start to take playing time from Geronimo in the next few years.
  • Geronimo had a rough offensive year of his career in 1978. He started in center field in 1979, but after that he would be a backup for the rest of his career.
  • Cesar batted over .300 for the first five weeks of the season
  • 1978 Stats: .226, 5 HR, 27 RBI in 122 games
  • 1978 Highlights:
    • April 29 - Had two hits, a home run, and three RBI in Cincinnati's 14-7 win over the New York Mets.
    • June 10 - Homered in the 9th inning to help the Reds beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-4.
    • June 24 - Had three hits in the Reds' 4-3 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
