Cullen hit a respectable .261 for the A’s while playing second, short and third, collecting 37 hits over 142 at-bats, with 10 runs scored and 15 runs batted in.
It was the only season he played out West with the A’s, spending 5 1/2 of his seven-year career with the team he came up with, the Washington Senators, with a partial season with the Chicago White Sox before going back to D.C. in 1968.
All told, Cullen finished up his career with a .220 batting average, with 387 hits in 1761 at-bats in exactly 700 MLB games between 1966 and 1972, with the final games of his career coming in the only Post Season action he’d see as a player, going 0-1 in the American League Championship Series against the Detroit Tigers.
