I'm currently doing research to identify all former PONY/NYPL players who made it to the major leagues. I have completed all seasons from 1939 to 1960 and have identified a total of 290 players (and managers) so far who meet the criteria.

I plan on posting about these individuals (in no particular order) on a regular basis.

First up:Art Shamsky

He played in the New York-Penn League for the Geneva Redlegs in 1960.

He went on to play in the major leagues with the Cincinnati Reds (1965-67), New York Mets (1968-71), Chicago Cubs (1972), and Oakland Athletics (1972).
