About Doug Camilli
Card #593 is a seventh-series high number. Camilli held the Washington job through most of June until a foul tip off the bat of Yankees pitcher Fritz Peterson broke his throwing thumb on July 8. He got into three more games all year, batted .206 with two home runs in 44 games, and came back to find Paul Casanova settled behind the plate.
Douglas Joseph Camilli was born September 22, 1936, in Philadelphia, where his father, first baseman Dolph Camilli, was closing out a season with the Phillies; five years later the elder Camilli was the National League's Most Valuable Player for Brooklyn. The family lived in California, and Doug played three sports at Santa Rosa High School before Stanford coach Jack Shepard turned him into a catcher. He signed with the Brooklyn organization and turned pro in 1957, then reached Los Angeles late in 1960 and singled off Juan Marichal in his first big-league game. Across nine seasons with the Dodgers and Senators he was almost always the backup, first behind John Roseboro in Los Angeles and later behind Paul Casanova in Washington. He caught Sandy Koufax's third no-hitter in 1964, wore a World Series ring from 1963 without ever appearing in a Series game, and finished a .199 hitter with 153 hits, 18 home runs and 80 runs batted in over 313 games. He retired into coaching with Washington in 1968, was activated for one last game in September 1969 when the club ran out of catchers, then spent 1970 through 1992 with the Boston Red Sox as a bullpen coach and later a minor-league manager and roving catching instructor. He died March 17, 2026, at 89.
