Art Shamsky Ambushed By Ex Wife

AMAZIN' AMBUSH!
SHAMSKY'S ANGRY EX POUNCES

] By ALIYAH SHAHID and DAVID K. L I Hell hath no fury like a baseball wife scorned! The enraged ex-wife of Miracle Met Art Shamsky tracked him to a Midtown luncheon yesterday and chased him down the street to air her allegations that he's a lying snake in the grass who carried on affairs with both men and women while they were married. Kim Shamsky confronted the New York sports hero at Gallagher's Steakhouse, where he and several other members of the legendary 1969 Mets squad were part of a benefit for the American Heart Association. As Shamsky hit the sidewalk to leave, Kim ambushed the Met and stalked him down 52nd Street, screaming at him and demanding a verbal throwdown. "Set yourself free . . . Why can't you look at me?" a rampaging Kim shouted, as Shamsky tried to speed away with his ear glued to a cellphone. He made it just a half-block east to Broadway, before deciding to reverse course and seek protection back inside Gallagher's from his angry ex. The bickering couple was married in 1994 and divorced 12 years later. Kim sued Shamsky last year, claiming she's owed compensation for the "physiological and emotional injuries" associated with his years of unfaithfulness. "He believes his own lies and he just hides, because everything he does is a lie and he can't admit it," said Kim, a wealthy entrepreneur who built an empire of temporary-employment agencies. "I have e-mails that he's done this to other people so justice will be served when this comes out in court," she said of the electronic paper trail she's basing her court case on. "He was leading a double, triple, quadruple life." Kim said she decided to take her case to the street to confront her former husband publicly and remind him that she's not through with him. "I just wanted to say, 'Bye, Artie, see you in court,' " Kim said. "I want justice to be served in the court." Inside the restaurant, Shamsky bristled when asked about his ex-wife. "Why would you even ask me that question?" the agitated jock yelled. He was surrounded by teammates Bud Harrelson, Ed Kranepool and Ron Swoboda at the event, where attendees paid $75 for lunch and a copy of Shamsky's book, "The Magnificent Seasons." The former big-leaguer hit .300 with 14 home runs for the World Series-winning Amazin's in 1969. And he batted a torrid .538 in the National League Championship Series against Atlanta. The Mets went on to beat the Baltimore Orioles in the World Series for the team's first title. Kim has said she'll likely continue to publicly confront Shamsky - although she hasn't decided how often. With this year marking the 40th anniversary of the Miracle Mets and the new Citi Field opening in two months, reunions of that 1969 squad figure to be plentiful. In her lawsuit, Kim claimed Shamsky's infidelity led her to catch a sexually transmitted disease. She has purchased the rights to www.ArtShamskySucks.com to launch a safe-sex campaign - complete with T-shirts and condoms. "I'm waiting for my case to be settled, so I can have this campaign and show everything on this Web site - including all of Art's personal e-mails to show he did what he said he did not do," Kim said. Shamsky has denied all his ex-wife's allegations

What can be learned from this story?

If you're gonna cheat with men and women and give your wife VD, you should make sure your wife isn't a psycho bent on public humiliation as revenge, I guess.

Thank you, Kim and Art Shamsky, for this valuable lesson in life and love.

XXOO,
JCL

What's amazin' is the tabloid allows itself to be used by this nutso, airing her kooky grievances, even plugging her website. But, obviously, psycho bitches sell papers.

I'd like to chase her down the street and scream at her that breeding dogs the size of mice isn't cute but sadistic.

[soupcan]

By the way - this non-story is on the friggin' front page of The Post.

Apparently she'll be chasing Shamsky all over town at upcoming 40th anniversary of the Miracle Mets , I feel for the guy.
