1966 Topps #175 Bert Campaneris
About Bert Campaneris
1966 Topps #175, out of the second series, keeps Campaneris in Kansas City flannels. He spent the year as a full-time shortstop for the first time, pairing with second baseman Dick Green in a double-play combination built on range; Green said he had never played beside a shortstop who threw the ball that hard. Campaneris led the American League with 259 putouts at shortstop and won a second straight stolen-base title, taking 52 bases in 62 attempts. He hit .267 over 142 games and finished tenth in that season's American League Most Valuable Player voting.
Dagoberto Campaneris was born in Pueblo Nuevo, Cuba, on March 9, 1942, and drew major league attention in 1961 while playing for Cuba's national team. Kansas City scout Felix Delgado signed him to a contract carrying a $1,000 bonus payable only if he stayed with the organization for 60 days. He reached the Athletics on July 23, 1964, hitting a home run off Jim Kaat on the first pitch thrown to him and another in the seventh inning, joining the short list of players with two home runs in a debut game. Listed at 5-foot-10 and 160 pounds, he built his game on speed and range, led the American League in stolen bases six times, and finished with 649 steals. He was a six-time All-Star and the leadoff man for Oakland's three straight World Series winners from 1972 through 1974. Nineteen seasons ended with stops in Texas, California and New York, and he retired after 1983 with 2,249 hits, 79 home runs and a .259 average. He still holds Athletics franchise records at shortstop, and the club inducted him into the Athletics Hall of Fame in 2019. He is not a National Baseball Hall of Fame inductee.
