1966 Topps #360 Ron Hunt
About Ron Hunt
Card #360 is a series-4 issue whose back records a lost 1965. A jammed finger cost Hunt the season's first 15 games; then, in his 10th game back, on May 11, he charged a Lou Brock roller and was blindsided by baserunner Phil Gagliano coming from first. Both men went down and only Gagliano got up. Hunt had completely separated his left shoulder, was operated on the next day and was written off for the year. He came back anyway on August 5 and finished with 57 games, 196 at-bats and a .240 average, hit by just six pitches -- the only season of his twelve under ten.
Ron Hunt signed with the Milwaukee Braves as an amateur free agent in 1959 and was sold to the New York Mets on October 11, 1962. A right-handed-hitting second baseman born in St. Louis, he won the Mets' second-base job as a rookie and finished runner-up to Pete Rose for the 1963 National League Rookie of the Year award. He was an All-Star in 1964 and 1966 and, in 1964, the first Met ever elected to start an All-Star Game. Traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers after the 1966 season and to the San Francisco Giants in February 1968, he made his living crowding the plate and refusing to give ground on inside pitches, leading the National League in hit by pitches for seven straight seasons from 1968 through 1974 and setting the modern single-season record with 50 for Montreal in 1971. Over twelve seasons he batted .273 with 1,429 hits, and his 243 career hit by pitches stood as a post-dead-ball-era record when he retired. "Some folks give their bodies to science," he said. "I gave mine to baseball." He belongs to the Montreal Expos Hall of Fame, founded the Ron Hunt Eagles Baseball Association for college-bound players in 1987, and died on July 15, 2026, at age 85.
