1958 Topps #250 Roy Sievers
About Roy Sievers
Card #250 in the third series of the 494-card 1958 Topps set pictures Roy Sievers with the Washington Senators. It follows his best year: in 1957 he hit .301 and led the American League with 42 home runs and 114 RBI, then finished third in the MVP vote behind Mickey Mantle and Ted Williams. In 1958 he hit 39 homers with 108 RBI.
Roy Sievers was a right-handed slugging first baseman and left fielder from St. Louis who broke in with the St. Louis Browns in 1949 and won the first American League Rookie of the Year award, batting .306 with 16 home runs and 91 RBI. A shoulder he wrecked in the minors in 1951 nearly finished him; surgery at Johns Hopkins and a shift to first base saved the career. Baltimore traded him to the Washington Senators for Gil Coan in February 1954, before he ever played a game for the Orioles, and he became the best bat on a chronically bad club. His signature year was 1957: he led the American League in home runs (42), RBI (114) and total bases (331) while hitting .301, and finished third in the MVP vote. He made the American League All-Star team in four seasons: 1956, 1957, 1959 and 1961. Chicago, Philadelphia and the expansion Senators carried him to 318 home runs, 1,703 hits and 1,147 RBI over 17 seasons. He later coached for the Cincinnati Reds, managed in the minor leagues, and was inducted into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame and the St. Louis Sports Hall of Fame.
