1961 Topps #267 Norm Siebern
About Norm Siebern
Topps gave Siebern two cards in 1961. Second-series #119, titled "A's Big Armor," lines him up with Hank Bauer and Jerry Lumpe as Kansas City's power core, though the three reached the A's by different routes: Bauer came over with Siebern in the December 1959 Roger Maris trade, while Lumpe had arrived from the Yankees seven months earlier, on May 26, 1959, in a separate deal. Card #267 is his own solo Athletics card. Both follow a 1960 season in which Siebern shuttled between the outfield and the infield and led the club with 19 home runs, seven more than any other Athletic, adding 31 doubles and six triples for manager Bob Elliott.
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.
