1974 Topps #25 Ken Singleton
About Ken Singleton
Singleton's #25 lists him with Montreal. He married Colette Saint-Jacques in January 1974 and was hitting over .300 when he appeared on the cover of The Sporting News in late May. A sprained wrist slowed him to a .240 second half, and he finished at .276 with nine home runs and a career-worst 11 errors. On December 4 the Expos sent him and Mike Torrez to Baltimore for Dave McNally and Rich Coggins.
Ken Singleton was a switch-hitting outfielder who played 15 seasons, 1970 to 1984, for the New York Mets, Montreal Expos and Baltimore Orioles. Raised in Mount Vernon, New York, he took up switch-hitting in the Bronx Federation League and spent a year on a Hofstra basketball scholarship before the Mets took him third overall in the January 1967 draft. He debuted on June 24, 1970, and his best Montreal season was 1973. He spent ten years in Baltimore, where he was an All-Star in 1977, 1979 and 1981 and finished second to Don Baylor in the 1979 American League MVP vote. He played on the 1979 and 1983 Orioles pennant winners; the 1983 club won the World Series. He won the Roberto Clemente Award in 1982 and entered the Baltimore Orioles Hall of Fame in 1986. His career line was 2,029 hits and a .282 average in 2,082 games. He hit 246 home runs and drove in 1,065 runs. He then broadcast for the Yankees from 1997 to 2021.
