In 1953, Schoendienst put together his finest season. He established career highs of a .342 batting average - second in the league to Carl Furrillo of the Brooklyn Dodgers at .344 - with 15 home runs and 79 RBI. On June 14, 1956, Schoendienst was involved in a surprising trade when he was sent to the New York Giants along with outfielder Jackie Brandt, pitcher Dick Littlefield, catcher Bill Sarni and shortstop Bobby Stephenson in exchange for shortstop Alvin Dark, catcher Ray Katt, pitcher Don Liddle and outfielder Whitey Lockman.
