1964 Topps #26 Gino Cimoli
About Gino Cimoli
Card #26 sits in the 1964 set's first series and reports Cimoli's 1963 line for Kansas City: a .263 average, 139 hits, 19 doubles, 11 triples and 48 RBI over 145 games. It was his second and last full season as an Athletics regular. He got into only four games for Kansas City in 1964 before the club released him on May 29 and Baltimore signed him the same day.
Gino Cimoli was a right-handed-hitting outfielder from San Francisco who broke in with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1956 and played ten major league seasons, 1956 through 1965, for seven clubs: the Dodgers, St. Louis Cardinals, Pittsburgh Pirates, Milwaukee Braves, Kansas City Athletics, Baltimore Orioles and Los Angeles Angels. His first full season, 1957, was his best: a .293 average, 156 hits and a National League All-Star selection. Cimoli owns two pieces of Dodgers history. He scored the final run at Ebbets Field on September 24, 1957, in Brooklyn's last home game there, and on April 15, 1958, manager Walter Alston sent the North Beach native up as the first batter in a major league game played on the West Coast. He appeared in the 1956 World Series with Brooklyn and won a title with the 1960 Pirates. He finished with a .265 average, 808 hits, 321 RBI and more triples (48) than home runs (44), then drove a UPS delivery route in San Francisco for more than two decades, honored in 1990 for 21 years without a traffic accident.
