1967 Topps #387 Cap Peterson
About Cap Peterson
Card #387 was issued in Topps' fifth series. It is Peterson's first card as a Washington Senator, following the December 1966 trade that sent him from San Francisco to Washington, and it arrived during the best season of his career, in which he set personal highs with 122 games played and 405 at bats while playing mostly right field for the Senators.
Charles Andrew "Cap" Peterson, nicknamed from the initials of his own name, was an outfielder from Tacoma, Washington, who broke in with the San Francisco Giants in September 1962 after a huge Double-A season at El Paso, where he hit .335 with 29 home runs. He split time in left and right field for the Giants through 1966 but never won a full-time job, and in December of that year he was part of the multi-player trade that sent Mike McCormick to San Francisco and brought Peterson to the Washington Senators. He posted his career high in games played with the 1967 Senators, then closed out his playing days with the Cleveland Indians in 1969, reunited there with former Giants manager Alvin Dark as a reserve outfielder and pinch-hitter. Over eight big-league seasons he batted .230 with 269 hits in 536 games. After baseball he ran his family's construction business back home in Tacoma, where he died in 1980 at age 37 following a long illness.
