Great reds stories
we talked about when he pinch hit for frank robinson - he homered off tom parsons
when Juan Marichal struck him out three times in agame, catcher tom haller said to him, its cold enough here inSFran just hit the ball
he mentioned playing in Macon and Geneva with Tomy perez, Pete Rose
He is a wonderful chap
I’m dating myself but I still remember his four consecutive home runs.

In 1966, Shamsky became the only player to hit three home runs in a game, while not being in the starting lineup - entered the game in a double-switch.

Not a gimme in the bunch for sure.

he had a great story about the giants, it seems he had struck out 3 times against marichal and it was freezing in sf, he then came up for the fourth time and swung and missed at ball one catcher tom haller said to him its cold enough here without you making another breeze hit the darn ball somewhere
I have just started reading a book about the history of Crosley Field. Shamsky has a chapter early that book about his time at Crosley and he of course talks about this. That was quite a feat!

you would have loved this he was quizzing me on numbers of players like don pavletich 7, charlie james 26, we even talked about gerry arrigo 35, cesar tovar and gus gil
Robert Barone is a big fan. even named his dog after him
There are 3 guarantees in life; death, taxes, and the leadoff walk coming around to score.

I thought Pavletich wore #8 and Jim Coker wore #7
And a nice article about Charlie James. Back when ball players were regular people.
