1966 Topps #66 Al Weis
About Al Weis
New manager Eddie Stanky gave Weis his heaviest infield workload in two years in 1966, 96 games at second base after Buford shifted to third and Ron Hansen went down hurt, but the bat went cold: .155 in 187 at-bats across 129 games, the low point of his career. One bright note was the arrival of pitcher Jack Lamabe, his Farmingdale High School teammate, who was a White Sox teammate again in 1966 and 1967. Card #66 falls in the set's first series.
Albert John Weis, known to his teammates as Weasel, was a slender infielder who switch-hit for most of his career and played ten major league seasons for the Chicago White Sox and New York Mets between 1962 and 1971. Born in Franklin Square, New York, and raised in Bethpage, he graduated from Farmingdale High School in 1955 and joined the Navy at seventeen; the White Sox spotted him on the base team at Naval Station Norfolk and signed him as an amateur free agent in 1959. Four seasons in the farm system produced a .266 average and a September call-up in 1962, and he settled in as Chicago's utility man behind second baseman Nellie Fox and shortstop Ron Hansen. Traded to the Mets in December 1967 with center fielder Tommie Agee, Weis was acquired by manager Gil Hodges chiefly for his glove. A career .219 hitter with seven home runs in 800 games, he authored one of the great postseason surprises in October 1969, leading all batters in the World Series at .455 and taking the New York chapter of the Baseball Writers' Association of America's Babe Ruth Award as the Series' outstanding player. Released by the Mets on July 1, 1971, he and his wife, Barbara, raised their family in Elmhurst, Illinois.
