1965 Topps #395 Jim Hart
About Jim Hart
Hart followed his rookie year with an even better one, hitting .299 with 23 home runs, 96 RBI and his first career grand slam, finishing 15th in MVP voting despite a suspension for breaking curfew that Willie Mays helped talk him through. He appears twice in this set: on card #4, a League Leaders subset card alongside Willie Mays, Billy Williams, Johnny Callison and Orlando Cepeda, and on his solo card #395.
Jim Ray Hart was a power-hitting third baseman for the San Francisco Giants and, briefly, the New York Yankees across a 12-season career from 1963 to 1974. Signed by the Giants for $1,000 in 1960, he battled a broken shoulder blade and a concussion from being hit by pitches in his 1963 debut before breaking out as a full-time regular in 1964. From 1964 through 1968 he averaged 27 home runs a season and drove in at least 78 runs five straight years, making one All-Star team. Bill James later rated him among the top 75 third basemen ever, noting his bat far outpaced his defense. Injuries, weight problems and alcoholism cut into his playing time in his final Giants seasons before his rights were sold to the Yankees in 1973. He finished his career .278 with 170 home runs and 578 RBI, then played in the Mexican League before retiring in 1976.
