1967 Topps #469 Len Gabrielson
About Len Gabrielson
Card #469 falls in the sixth series, and it is Gabrielson's only Topps card as an Angel: the Giants had traded him to California for Norm Siebern on December 14, 1966. Behind it is his 1966 season in San Francisco, where he had held off Orlando Cepeda for the left field job in spring training and then hit just .217 in 94 games with four home runs and 16 RBI for a Giants club that again finished second, a game and a half back.
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.
