1968 Topps #357 Len Gabrielson
About Len Gabrielson
Card #357, a series-4 base issue, places Gabrielson with the club he would finish his career on. California had traded him to Los Angeles for infielder Johnny Werhas on May 10, 1967, after 11 games and a single hit as an Angel. The card totals his 1967 season at .252 with seven home runs and 31 RBI; the Dodger share of it was 90 games and a .261 average for a Walter Alston team that fell to eighth at 73-89 in the first season after Sandy Koufax retired.
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.
