Originally drafted by the California Angels in the 3rd round of the 1975 Major League Baseball Draft, Carney Lansford became the Angels' best rookie in 1978 and finished third in the overall AL Rookie of the Year vote. The Angels dealt Lansford to the Red Sox after the 1980 season. In 1981, he won the American League batting title in the strike-shortened season, becoming the league's first right-handed hitter to do so in 11 years. However, the emergence of Wade Boggs resulted in the Red Sox sending Lansford to Oakland in a trade involving Tony Armas during the 1982 off-season. He appeared to be on his way to playing first base for the A's until the emergence of Mark McGwire. Instead, Lansford became the A's third baseman for their 1988 through 1992 dynasty, typically hitting second behind Rickey Henderson once the A's acquired Henderson. Although his power numbers dropped off during those years, and he missed almost all the 1991 season, Lansford's speed, defense and solid hitting made him a significant contributor. He played in three World Series with the A's, losing in 1988, 1990 and winning in 1989.
In a 15-year career, Lansford was a .290 hitter with 151 home runs 874 RBI, and 224 stolen bases in 1862 games.
