Art Shamsky
Arthur Louis Shamsky
Batted: Left
Threw: Left
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 175 lbs.
Born: October 14, 1941 in St.Louis, MO
Signed: 1959 by the Cincinnati Redlegs
Acquired: traded from the Cincinnati Reds for Bob Johnson,
November 1967
Departed: traded to the St. Louis Cardinals with Jim Bibby, Rich
Folkers, and Charlie Hudson for Jim Beauchamp, Chuck

Art put up a few outstanding numbers during
his career in the big leagues; notably, he smashed 21 homers in only 234
at-bats for the Reds in 1966, and he batted .300 for the Miracle Mets in 1969
with good power. Since his retirement, he has been a popular promoter for
events featuring the 1969 Mets, and is an enthusiastic
signer. The postcard pictured below (from Ron Lewis'
1994 set) was autographed by Art. The card shown here at the top is from 1970
Topps. There are four more standard-sized cards below as well.

This is a list of the cards of this player
that I had in my Mets collection before I transferred the ownership of said
collection to another diligent and capable Mets fan. The cards that are listed
in light gray print and struck through are cards that were sold for charity
prior to my divestiture. The cards
listed in white text are the ones that still
remained until that final deal. Items listed in green I kept out of the deal,
just so I'd have something to display in my office and den. At the bottom and listed in orange text are
cards that I picked up after the dealing was done, in order
to maintain a certain continuity at this site; that is, so I'd have a
card to show you at the top of the page, and maybe in the autographs and
game-used areas. If an orange card is
struck through, it has also departed the collection. I am
still accepting donations, should you feel so moved. Contact me by following this link: NYMHall.
