1970 Topps #176 Jim Hart
About Jim Hart
Hart reported for 1970 after dropping 10 pounds to 186 in the Arizona Instructional League and seeing a doctor twice a day about his right shoulder. Card #176, from the second series, shows him with the Giants. On July 8 he hit for the cycle against Atlanta and drove in six runs in the fifth inning with a three-run triple and a three-run homer. He finished at .282 with 8 home runs in 76 games.
Jim Ray Hart was a power-hitting third baseman for the San Francisco Giants and, briefly, the New York Yankees across a 12-season career from 1963 to 1974. Signed by the Giants for $1,000 in 1960, he suffered a broken shoulder blade and a concussion from being hit by pitches in 1963, his debut season, before becoming a full-time regular in 1964. From 1964 through 1968 he averaged 27 home runs a season and drove in at least 78 runs five straight years, making one All-Star team. Bill James later ranked him 74th among all-time third basemen, noting that his bat far outpaced his defense. Injuries, weight problems and alcoholism cut into his playing time in his final Giants seasons before his rights were sold to the Yankees in 1973. He finished his career .278 with 170 home runs and 578 RBI, then played in the Mexican League before retiring in 1976.
