1972 Topps #369 Jim Lefebvre
About Jim Lefebvre
Lefebvre considered retiring when he was out of the lineup early in 1971. After an arm injury sidelined Billy Grabarkewitz in late April, he again became the Dodgers' regular second baseman and played 119 games, his most in four years. He hit .245 with 12 home runs and 68 RBI, and his son Ryan was born that year. His #369 card in the third series of 1972 Topps shows him with Los Angeles, where he played 70 games in 1972.
Jim "Frenchy" Lefebvre was a switch-hitting infielder who spent all eight of his major league seasons, 1965 through 1972, with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The son of a well-known Southern California hitting instructor, he was taught to bat from both sides at age ten, starred at Morningside High School and signed with the Dodgers in early 1962 for $11,000. Three minor league seasons later he won the second base job out of spring training and joined first baseman Wes Parker, shortstop Maury Wills and third baseman Jim Gilliam to form the first all switch-hitting infield in major league history. He was the National League Rookie of the Year in 1965 and a World Series winner that same autumn, then posted his best numbers in 1966, when he was an All-Star and the Dodgers took a second straight pennant. Leg, shoulder, wrist and ankle injuries cut into the seasons that followed, and he shuttled between second and third base as younger Dodgers arrived, playing his last big league game in 1972. He spent four more seasons in Japan with the Lotte Orions, then came back to coach six major league clubs and to manage the Seattle Mariners, Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers.
