1971 Topps #155 Ken Henderson
About Ken Henderson
Henderson hit .264 with 15 home runs and 65 RBI as the Giants won the NL West. He scored 80 runs and stole 18 bases in 141 games. In the NLCS he went 5 for 16 with 2 RBI, but Pittsburgh took the series 3-1. His 1971 Topps card is #155, from the second series, and lists him with San Francisco.
Ken Henderson was a switch-hitting outfielder for seven major-league clubs from 1965 to 1980, beginning with San Francisco and ending with the Chicago Cubs. Raised near San Diego, he followed his father Joseph, a Navy ballplayer who became a scout, into baseball. His brothers Rob and Joe also signed with the Giants. Scouts and writers compared Henderson to Willie Mays, an expectation he often considered unfair. He hit .294 with 17 home runs and 88 RBIs in 148 games in 1970. After San Francisco, he played for the White Sox, Braves, Rangers, Mets, Reds and Cubs, finishing with 1,168 hits, 122 home runs and a .257 average. He later worked in sales and marketing, becoming a vice president at Staples. In 2010 he returned to the Giants as a director of sales.
