[edit] Biographical Information
Jack Damaska played only 5 games in the major leagues but had a long minor league career. He was signed by the St. Louis Cardinals in 1957, and as late as 1973 was playing in Quebec. He was also a minor league manager.
His five games in the majors were all in July 1963. He appeared in the field only twice, once at second base and once in the outfield. Second base on the Cardinals was owned by Julian Javier during all of the 1960's, while the shortstop at the time was Dick Groat and the third baseman was Ken Boyer. The outfield had Curt Flood, Stan Musial, George Altman, and Charlie James. It wasn't an easy team to break onto.
