1967 Topps #515 Bert Campaneris
About Bert Campaneris
#515 falls in the sixth series of 1967, and it caught the Athletics in their last Kansas City summer. Campaneris claimed a third consecutive stolen-base crown with 55 thefts, and on August 29 against Cleveland he tripled three times in a single game. His average dipped to .248, but he was in the lineup nearly every day, playing 145 games at shortstop out of 147 appearances while the franchise prepared to move west for 1968.
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.
