1962 Topps #267 Dan Dobbek
About Dan Dobbek
1962 Topps #267 puts Dobbek in a Cincinnati Reds uniform he never wore in a major league game. Minnesota traded him on January 30, 1962, for catcher Jerry Zimmerman, and he spent that season at Triple-A San Diego and Class A Macon without a recall. A neck injury from an outfield collision the year before, followed by back trouble, took most of the power with it. Its back closes out his major league record with 1961:.168 in 72 games for the Twins, with about a month at Triple-A Syracuse late that summer.
Dan Dobbek was a left-handed-hitting, right-handed-throwing outfielder from Ontonagon, Michigan, the first major leaguer to come out of that Lake Superior village. He played at Western Michigan and signed with Washington in 1955, and his first professional season was his finest: .340 with 33 doubles, 16 triples, 23 home runs and 144 runs batted in for Hobbs of the Class B Southwestern League in 1956. Two years of military service followed. He came back in 1959 to hit 23 homers for Chattanooga of the Southern Association, and Washington brought him up that September. His only full major league season was 1960, when he batted .218 with 10 home runs in 110 games, just 55 of them starts. He moved north with the franchise as a charter Minnesota Twin in 1961. A January 1962 trade sent him to Cincinnati for catcher Jerry Zimmerman, but he never played in the majors again and retired after the 1963 season with a .208 average, 15 home runs and 49 RBI in 198 games. He also played winter ball for Cienfuegos in Cuba and was part of its 1960 Caribbean Series championship team. The Upper Peninsula Sports Hall of Fame inducted him in 1991, and he died in Portland, Oregon, in 2023.
