1970 46 Ken Rudolph

Ken Rudolph
    
This is the first Cub card in the 1970 set, even though all other teams had 1 or 2 (or even 3) by this point. 

Rudolph's Tacoma team had been the Salt Lake City Bees until after the 1965 season, when they moved to Tacoma to become the Cubs - replacing the Giants' farm team that left town simultaneously. The Cubs remained in Tacoma as a Cub affiliate through the 1971 season. They won the 1969 PCL championship just after Rudolph's year with them in 1968.

Rudolph played in 20 games for the Cubs in 1970 and batted exactly 100. He rejoined Tacoma for part of 1971.  He was part of a committee of catchers that partially replaced Randy Hundley as the 1970s began.
