About Jack Damaska

Born 1937. Jack Damaska is an American baseball player.

Signed by the Cardinals in 1957, Damaska played in 1,902 games during a 17-year-long minor league playing career but his five appearances for the Cardinals all occurred in July of 1963. He took the field only twice, once at second base and once in the outfield; in four innings on defense, he recorded no chances. He had a total of five at bats, with four strikeouts and one hit, a pinch single off Denny Lemaster of the Milwaukee Braves on July 11 in the first game of a doubleheader. His hit, however, sparked a five-run seventh-inning rally to enable the Cardinals to defeat the Braves, 6–3. He notched his only MLB run scored and run batted in during that rally.

As late as 1973, Damaska was playing for the Québec Carnavals of the Double-A Eastern League. He spent one year as a minor league manager in 1974 for the Kinston Expos of the Class-A Carolina League, a Montreal affiliate that folded at the end of its only season of play.

When a member of the International League All-Stars against the Milwaukee Braves in 1965, Damaska went three-for-four at the plate, drove in two runs and scored another to lead the All-Stars to a 6–2 upset win over the MLB Braves.
