1958 Topps #54 Norm Siebern
About Norm Siebern
The 1958 Topps #54 rookie card, from the first series, shows Siebern as a New York Yankee after a 1957 spent entirely at Denver. There he led the American Association with a .349 average, 124 runs and 191 hits and made the league's All-Star team. He reached the majors for good in 1958, hit .300 as the Yankees' most-used left fielder and won a Gold Glove.
Norman Leroy Siebern (1933-2015), born in St. Louis and a graduate of Wellston High just outside the city, was a left-handed-hitting first baseman and outfielder who spent 12 seasons in the majors with the Yankees, Athletics, Orioles, Angels, Giants, and Red Sox. Signed by the Yankees in 1951 out of high school, he lost 1954 and 1955 to Army service and debuted in New York on June 15, 1956. He won a Gold Glove as the Yankees' left fielder in 1958, the year he batted an even .300, and he played in three World Series (1956, 1958, 1967), collecting championship rings in 1956 and 1958. On December 11, 1959, the Yankees sent him, Hank Bauer, Don Larsen, and Marv Throneberry to Kansas City for Roger Maris, Joe DeMaestri, and Kent Hadley. Siebern settled in at first base for the Athletics, made three All-Star squads there, and peaked in 1962 with a .308 average, 25 home runs, and 117 RBIs. A November 1963 trade to Baltimore brought a fourth All-Star nod. He finished at .272 with 132 home runs and 636 RBIs.
