Enos Milton Cabell, Jr., (pronounced "ca-BELL"), (born October 8, 1949) is a former third baseman and first baseman in Major League Baseball. He played professionally for the Baltimore Orioles, the Houston Astros, the San Francisco Giants, the Detroit Tigers, and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Cabell was born in Fort Riley, Kansas to Enos Cabell Sr. and Naomi Cabell. He graduated from Gardena High School in Gardena, California. He played college baseball at Los Angeles Harbor College.
Cabell was signed by the Baltimore Orioles as an amateur free agent in 1968. Cabell was traded from Baltimore to Houston on December 3, 1974, for first baseman Lee May. The Baseball Writers' Association of America named Cabell the Houston Astros Most Valuable Player in 1978. On December 8, 1980, Cabell was then traded to San Francisco for pitcher Bob Knepper and outfielder Chris Bourjos.
On February 28, 1986, Cabell and six others were suspended for the entire season for admitting during the Pittsburgh drug trials that they were involved in cocaine abuse. The suspensions for all seven were avoided after agreeing to large anti-drug donations and community service.
He played MLB for fifteen seasons. In 1993, Cabell was inducted into the Houston Astros Hall of Fame. Currently, he serves as a special assistant to Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow.
