1967 Topps #91 Johnny Lewis
About Johnny Lewis
Lewis opened 1967 with the Mets but appeared in only 13 games, his last in the major leagues, before finishing the season at Jacksonville, where he hit .218 in 103 games. A freak dugout collision that August, when an opposing player fell in while chasing a popup, left Lewis with facial cuts and three lost teeth. This first-series card documents the final big-league year of his four-season career.
Johnny Lewis was an outfielder from Greenville, Alabama who reached the majors with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1964 after years of Cardinals farm-system seasoning, including an All-Star year at Double-A Tulsa. Traded to the New York Mets that December, the left-handed hitter had his best season in 1965, playing 148 games and leading the club in runs and walks. He is remembered for a game-winning 11th-inning home run that broke up a Jim Maloney no-hit bid at Crosley Field. Nicknamed The Gunner by Mets teammates for his strong outfield arm, Lewis split most of his time between right and center field over four big-league seasons before finishing his playing career in the minors. He later returned to the Cardinals organization as their first African-American on-field coach and spent years as a hitting coach and scout.
