1965 Topps #103 Harvey Kuenn
About Harvey Kuenn
By 1965 Kuenn was a spare part in San Francisco, 23 games and a .237 average, and on May 29 the Giants traded him with Ed Bailey and Bob Hendley to the Chicago Cubs for Dick Bertell and Len Gabrielson. Chicago got 54 games and a .217 mark out of him, 26 hits against 22 walks, with 26 of those appearances coming off the bench as a pinch-hitter. On September 9 he struck out to end Sandy Koufax's perfect game. His 1965 Topps card, #103, still pictures him as a Giant. It is a second-series card.
Harvey Kuenn, an infielder-turned-outfielder born in West Allis, Wisconsin, was an All-American shortstop at the University of Wisconsin before signing with the Detroit Tigers as an amateur free agent in June 1952. He won the American League Rookie of the Year Award in 1953, leading the majors with 209 hits, and captured the AL batting title in 1959 at .353. He led the league in hits four times and in doubles three times, and was an All-Star selection every year from 1953 through 1960, a run that covered ten All-Star Games. Detroit traded him to Cleveland for Rocky Colavito on April 17, 1960, two days before Opening Day; Cleveland sent him to the San Francisco Giants that December for Johnny Antonelli and Willie Kirkland. He finished with the Chicago Cubs and Philadelphia Phillies, retiring after 1966 with a .303 average, 2,092 hits, 671 RBIs and 87 home runs across 15 seasons. Kuenn later spent a decade as Milwaukee's hitting coach and managed the 1982 Harvey's Wallbangers to the American League pennant, earning Associated Press Manager of the Year honors. He is a member of the Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame.
