Johnny Callison Marquee

With two out in the ninth inning of the 1964 All-Star Game at Shea Stadium, the National League a run down, he hit a three-run home run off Dick Radatz and was the game's most valuable player. That September Philadelphia lost ten straight games and a six-and-a-half-game lead with twelve to play. He hit 31 home runs and drove in 104 that season and finished second in the Most Valuable Player voting, 243 points to 187, behind Ken Boyer of the club that passed them.

Sixteen seasons gave him 1,757 hits, 226 home runs, 89 triples, 321 doubles and a .264 average, with three All-Star selections. He led the National League in triples twice and in doubles once, and threw well enough from right field to lead the league in assists four times.

He was thirty when the Phillies traded him and he was finished at thirty-four, which is early for that record; he had been in the major leagues at nineteen. He tended bar and sold cars afterward. The 1979 ballot gave him one vote of 432. He died in 2006, at sixty-seven.
