1957 Topps #381 Dean Stone
About Dean Stone
Darrah Dean Stone (September 1, 1930 - August 21, 2018) was a left-handed pitcher born in Moline, Illinois. After a brief Chicago Cubs signing ended in injury, he signed a Class D contract with Washington at a 1949 tryout school and climbed through the minors at Orlando, Erie, Charlotte and Chattanooga. Debuting September 13, 1953, he pitched parts of eight seasons for the Washington Senators (1953-1957), Boston Red Sox (1957), St. Louis Cardinals (1959), Houston Colt .45s (1962), Chicago White Sox (1962) and Baltimore Orioles (1963). His signature moment came in the 1954 All-Star Game at Cleveland Stadium: entering in the eighth to face Duke Snider, he threw out Red Schoendienst attempting to steal home, and after the American League rallied to an 11-9 win, Stone became the only pitcher in All-Star history credited with a victory without retiring a batter. He finished 29-39 with a 4.47 ERA over 215 games. This 1957 Topps card shows him with Boston, where he had just been traded that April.
