1969 Topps #615 Len Gabrielson
About Len Gabrielson
Gabrielson's last card of the decade, #615, is a seventh-series high number. Behind it sits his heaviest season: 108 games in 1968, a .270 average and career highs of ten home runs and 35 RBI, the ten homers enough to lead a 76-86 Dodgers club that finished seventh during the Year of the Pitcher. He stayed in Los Angeles as a part-time outfielder through 1970, his last season.
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.
