1960 Topps #363 Gene Stephens
About Gene Stephens
Glen Eugene "Gene" Stephens broke into pro ball with the Red Sox in 1951, batting .337 with 22 home runs in Class D ball before jumping to Boston's roster in 1952 out of the University of Arkansas. A left-handed-hitting outfielder, he spent eight seasons with the Red Sox (1952-53, 1955-60) playing behind Hall of Famer Ted Williams in left field. Sportswriter Shirley Povich tagged him "Williams' Caddy" in a 1958 Baseball Digest profile — a label Stephens disliked but couldn't shake, since he rarely topped 310 plate appearances a season despite hitting .293 in 1955 and .467 in August 1957. On June 18, 1953, with Williams serving in Korea, Stephens became the first modern-era major leaguer to collect three hits in a single inning, a mark matched only once, by Johnny Damon in 2003. Boston dealt him to Baltimore in June 1960; he closed a 12-year career with the Orioles, Athletics, and White Sox before a season in Japan. His 1960 Topps card, #363, catches him mid-tenure in Boston.
