Richard, who spent the first four of his MLB seasons as a member of the Chicago White Sox, played in 66 games for the Cardinals in 1976, batting .176 with 16 hits over 91 official at-bats.

Over his five year career, Richard finished with a .209 batting average along with 103 hits in 492 at-bats while playing both the infield and outfield.
