My father - brilliant, vibrant, deeply loving a fervent Mets fan - recently suffered a series of illnesses and injuries which left him despairing. Art Shamsky has always had a special place in my Dad’s heart owing to his athletic grace and power, his dignity, and his embrace of Judaism (go Mo’din Miracles)! Art’s Cameo was remarkably personal, organic-seeming, gracious, kind and uplifting. I cannot overstate how much it meant to my Dad - he was truly shocked. Much gratitude, Mr. Shamsky - you did a mitzvah <3 !

Great to contact Art Shamsky and -as a Cincy kid - hear about his days as a Red. I was 7 when the Reds traded Art and I couldn’t believe it. His 66 PSA 10 Card is in my case flanked by Clemente and Aaron. Just glad he got his ring in 69,Thanks Art!
