1967 Topps #426 Lou Clinton
About Lou Clinton
Card #426 in the fifth series of 1967 Topps puts Clinton in Yankee pinstripes. Behind it is 1966, his first New York season, which began when Cleveland traded him to the Yankees for catcher Doc Edwards on January 14 of that year. He got into 80 games, took 159 at-bats, drove in 21 runs and batted .220 for a club that finished last. A fractured right thumb in spring training 1967 limited him to six games and a final major league appearance on April 30, and on May 11 New York sold his contract to Philadelphia.
Luciean Louis Clinton, an Oklahoma-born outfielder who batted and threw right-handed, spent parts of eight major league seasons (1960-1967) with five American League clubs: the Boston Red Sox, the Los Angeles and California Angels, the Kansas City Athletics, the Cleveland Indians and the New York Yankees. Signed by Boston as an amateur free agent in 1955, straight out of Ponca City High School in Oklahoma, he debuted on April 22, 1960 and went on to play right field in 603 of his 691 career games. His best year came in 1962, when he hit for the cycle against Kansas City and set a career high with a .294 batting average, though his peak home run total came a year later. Across eight seasons he batted .247 with 65 home runs and 269 RBIs. The Yankees sold his contract to Philadelphia in May 1967 and he finished that year at Triple-A San Diego, then retired to run an oil business in Wichita, Kansas, where he also became an outstanding amateur golfer and a regular contender in local and state tournaments. The Kansas Baseball Hall of Fame elected him in its class of 1987, and he died in Wichita in 1997 at the age of 60.
