	Joe Rudi \| BaseballLibrary.com
		Rudi was an underrated superstar for the mighty A's of the early 1970s, overshadowed on his own team with better stats and more dynamic personalities.

		Rudi then signed with the Angels as a free agent after the 1976 season, but was hampered by injuries for most of his four seasons with California.

	WHERE ARE THEY NOW? / Joe Rudi / Keeping his mitts off / No regrets in leaving the A's, or later on, baseball entirely
		Joe Rudi, a major contributor to the A's three world championships and five division titles 30 years ago, also was part of baseball's early free- agent exodus, which particularly hurt Oakland.
		Rudi, the left fielder who from 1971-75 averaged.284 and 75 RBIs a season, signed his free-agent deal in 1977 with the Angels for a total of $2.5 million over five years.
		Rudi was hired as a coach when Tony La Russa took over the A's in mid-1986 but gave it up after the '87 season.

		Rudi was born in Modesto on September 7, 1946.
		Rudi was an often overlooked member of the great Oakland A's teams of the 1970's even though he was an integral part of their success.
		While Joe Rudi was making a name for himself at the major league level, there was another player who was coming up in the A's organization who would eventually become arguably the greatest lead-off hitter to ever play the game.

		Joe Cartwright was riding along on a loose rein, his mind miles away as he thought about his up-coming date with Callie Burns, in a couple of days’ time, when he was escorting her to the Governor’s Ball, which was being held in Virginia City.
		Joe had felt sorry for the younger boy, as he seemed out of place in his family and they had the added bond that they had both lost their mothers when young.
		Joe loved to be out in falling snow, and Ben had to make him promise not to stay out too long, for it was very cold and Joe was still weak.

	HABLA Biorhythm: Joe Rudi
		Rudi always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field.
		He also has a strong and accurate arm, and isn't afraid to look for the force at second or third.
		Rudi doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a couple bases each season without getting caught very often.

		Joe was the American Leauge batting champion 1939 and 1940.
		Specifically, he refused to work the base lines; reserved the right to decline invitations to banquets, supermarket openings and other functions he did not wish to attend; and wanted most of his goodwill time to be spent at the park so his free time would be left open.
		It was DiMaggio who taught Joe Rudi to turn his back on a fly ball, resulting in one of the most famous defensive plays in World Series history.
