1966 Topps #119 Art Shamsky
About Art Shamsky
1966 Topps #119 is a single-player card from the set's second print series, picturing Shamsky with the Cincinnati Reds. That August he tied a major league record by homering in four consecutive at-bats across two games against the Pittsburgh Pirates, becoming the only player to hit three home runs in a game he did not start. He finished the season with 21 home runs and a .521 slugging percentage in just 234 at-bats.
Art Shamsky was a left-handed outfielder and first baseman from St. Louis who broke in with the Cincinnati Reds in 1965 after a strong minor-league run that included a Pacific Coast League title with San Diego. On August 12 and 14, 1966, he tied a major league record by homering in four straight at-bats, becoming the only player ever to hit three home runs in a game he did not start. Traded to the New York Mets after the 1967 season, he became a key right-field platoon bat on the 1969 World Series champions, batting .300 with 14 home runs during the regular season and starring in the NLCS sweep of the Atlanta Braves. He closed his career with the Chicago Cubs and Oakland Athletics in 1972. He is a member of the National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame, not the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
