Shamsky was traded to the Mets before the 1968 season and was a major part of the 1969 World Championship team. During the 1969 season, Shamsky hit .300 and then led the Mets in the National League Playoffs with a .537 batting average against the Atlanta Braves.

He appeared in 1,853 games and had 1,418 hits, 225 doubles, 118 home runs, and 614 RBI in his time in New York. Charles was traded to the Mets in 1967 and led the team in home runs the following season with 15. He played in four of the five World Series games and scored the winning run in Game Two. Charles was the oldest member of the “Miracle Mets” at the age of 36. In addition to the special guests, the Somerset Patriots will be raffling off New York Mets tickets and items for fans to win throughout the game.
