About Dave Vineyard
Dave Vineyard's 1965 Topps card, #169, comes from the set's second print series and pictures him with the Baltimore Orioles, the club he debuted with the year before. It falls in the regular run of the set, and stands as his rookie card, reflecting his rookie 1964 season: 54 innings out of the Baltimore bullpen and rotation, 2-5 with a 4.17 ERA and 50 strikeouts across 19 games.
Dave Vineyard was a right-handed pitcher born February 25, 1941, in Clay, West Virginia. Listed at 6-foot-3 and 195 pounds, he threw and batted right-handed. Vineyard reached the major leagues with the Baltimore Orioles, making his debut on July 18, 1964. Over his lone big-league season he appeared in 19 games, six as a starter, working 54 innings and striking out 50 batters. He finished 2-5 with a 4.17 ERA and one complete game, taking the mound for the final time on September 23, 1964. As a hitter he saw limited action, going 2 for 12 across those 19 games without a home run or an RBI. Vineyard was never selected to an All-Star team, received no major awards, and did not appear in a postseason game. He is not a member of the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
