1964 Topps #214 Ken McMullen
About Ken McMullen
Card #214 is a third-series card and McMullen's first solo Topps issue. It covers a 1963 split between Spokane and Los Angeles: .236 with 5 home runs and 28 RBIs in 79 games, 71 of them at third base for a Dodgers club that went 99-63 and won the pennant. A hamstring he pulled against the Mets on September 26 kept him out of the four-game World Series sweep of the Yankees.
Kenneth Lee McMullen signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers out of Oxnard High School in California and reached the majors as a twenty-year-old September call-up in 1962, after two minor league seasons batting .285 with 42 home runs and 177 RBIs. He played parts of three seasons with Los Angeles - his first big league home run was a grand slam off St. Louis right-hander Ernie Broglio on the Fourth of July, 1963 - before a poor 1964 sent him back to the minors and then, that December, to the Washington Senators in a seven-player deal that also carried Frank Howard, Phil Ortega, Pete Richert and Dick Nen east for Claude Osteen and John Kennedy. McMullen took over Washington's third base job under manager Gil Hodges and held it through the rest of the decade, tying one American League fielding record at the position and setting another, and posting career highs of a .272 average and 87 runs batted in during 1969. Washington traded him to the California Angels in 1970; he returned to the Dodgers from 1973 through 1975, then finished with Oakland in 1976 and Milwaukee in 1977, ending on a pinch-hit home run in his last at-bat. He retired with 1,273 hits, 156 home runs and 606 RBIs across sixteen seasons, nearly all at third base.
