1966 Topps #395 Len Gabrielson
About Len Gabrielson
Card #395, a series-5 issue, is Gabrielson's first in a Giants uniform. San Francisco had picked him up with catcher Dick Bertell on May 29, 1965, sending Harvey Kuenn, Ed Bailey and Bob Hendley to Chicago. The back covers a season divided between the two clubs, and the San Francisco half was the best hitting of his life: 88 games, a .301 average, four home runs and 26 RBI for Herman Franks' 95-67 club, second in the National League by two games.
Len Gabrielson was a second-generation big leaguer: his father, Leonard Gabrielson, spent part of the 1939 season with the Philadelphia Phillies. The son, a left-handed-hitting outfielder out of the University of Southern California, signed with the Milwaukee Braves as an amateur free agent on July 19, 1959, and debuted on September 9, 1960, at age 20. He did not appear in the majors again until 1963, and from there he became one of the decade's better-traveled outfielders, playing for five clubs in all -- Braves, Cubs, Giants, Angels and Dodgers -- with four trades moving him between June 1964 and May 1967. He hit .301 for San Francisco in 1965, the only .300 season of his career, and led the Dodgers with ten home runs in 1968. Across nine major league seasons (1960, 1963-1970) he batted .253 with 37 home runs and 176 RBI in 708 games, mostly in left and right field.
