1967 Topps #299 Norm Siebern
About Norm Siebern
Card #299, a fourth-series release, is his only Topps card as a San Francisco Giant, and it reached packs while the National League stay it pictures was already ending. California had traded him to San Francisco for outfielder Len Gabrielson over the winter, and he opened 1967 as Willie McCovey's backup at first base: 15 games there, pinch-hitting appearances in 29 others, and nine hits in 58 at-bats for a .155 average. In mid-July the Giants sold his contract to the Boston Red Sox for the waiver price, sending him back to the American League for good.
Norman Leroy Siebern (1933-2015), born in St. Louis and a graduate of Wellston High just outside the city, was a left-handed-hitting first baseman and outfielder who spent 12 seasons in the majors with the Yankees, Athletics, Orioles, Angels, Giants, and Red Sox. Signed by the Yankees in 1951 out of high school, he lost 1954 and 1955 to Army service and debuted in New York on June 15, 1956. He won a Gold Glove as the Yankees' left fielder in 1958, the year he batted an even .300, and he played in three World Series (1956, 1958, 1967), collecting championship rings in 1956 and 1958. On December 11, 1959, the Yankees sent him, Hank Bauer, Don Larsen, and Marv Throneberry to Kansas City for Roger Maris, Joe DeMaestri, and Kent Hadley. Siebern settled in at first base for the Athletics, made three All-Star squads there, and peaked in 1962 with a .308 average, 25 home runs, and 117 RBIs. A November 1963 trade to Baltimore brought a fourth All-Star nod. He finished at .272 with 132 home runs and 636 RBIs.
