1972 Topps #379 Ken Berry
About Ken Berry
Berry won his second Gold Glove in 1972, playing 119 games for California. He hit .289 with 5 home runs and 39 RBI and tied for the lead among American League outfielders in both assists and double plays. At Washburn Rural High School in Topeka, Kansas, he had starred in football, basketball and track and field. His #379 in the third series of the 1972 Topps set pictures him with the Angels.
Allen Kent Berry broke in with the Chicago White Sox as a 21-year-old center fielder in September 1962 and spent parts of nine seasons with the club as a good defensive outfielder. A right-handed hitter out of Kansas City, Missouri, he earned his lone All-Star selection in 1967 as the White Sox chased the pennant into the season's final days, and he backed that up with Gold Glove awards in 1970 and 1972. Traded to the California Angels after the 1970 season, Berry played there through 1973, then closed his career with Milwaukee in 1974 and Cleveland in 1975. Over fourteen big-league seasons he hit .255 with 1,053 hits and a .989 fielding percentage, leading American League outfielders in fielding percentage three times. He was inducted into the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame in 2015.
