1960 Topps #21 Dutch Dotterer
About Dutch Dotterer
Henry John "Dutch" Dotterer Jr. grew up in Syracuse, New York, starred at Syracuse University, and signed with the Reds on June 10, 1950. After working through the minors and a Navy hitch, the right-handed catcher debuted for Cincinnati on September 25, 1957, spending parts of four seasons behind Smoky Burgess and Ed Bailey and hitting .247 with 5 home runs and 33 RBI in 107 games. Traded to Kansas City after 1960 and left unprotected, he was claimed by the expansion Washington Senators in that year's draft and played his final big-league games there in 1961. Dotterer owns a rare distinction against Hall of Fame arms: the only player to hit a grand slam off Sandy Koufax, driving in all four runs of a 4-3 win at the Los Angeles Coliseum on June 10, 1960, and the only one to beat Warren Spahn twice with extra-inning pinch hits. Nicknamed "Dutch," like his father and brother, a name often given to boys of German descent, he closed his playing days with the hometown Syracuse Chiefs.
