The 25-year-old Stanley had his first full season in 1968, hitting .259 with 11 HR and 60 RBI. He won his first of four Gold Gloves as a centerfielder, but famously moved to shortstop during the stretch run and World Series to replace the struggling Ray Oyler, a move that worked well for Detroit. Stanley played 15 years in the majors, all for the Tigers. He had a little power but low average and speed. In 1,516 games he hit .248 with 117 HR and 500 RBI. After his playing career he worked in commercial real estate, though he is now retired.
I have 21 of his cards, from 1966 to 1979. I would be interested in trading for 1971 Topps #524.
