1967 Topps #381 Dick Schofield
About Dick Schofield
Card #381 closes out the most scattered year of Schofield's career. Tito Fuentes had claimed the Giants' shortstop job, so 1966 began on the bench in San Francisco; the Yankees bought his contract on May 11, then watched his throwing arm swell up and hold him to 25 games. On September 10 New York traded him to Los Angeles for pitcher Thad Tillotson, and Walter Alston put him at third base, a spot he had not played since 1963. The Dodgers won the pennant, but the deal came after the trade deadline and left him ineligible for the Series that Baltimore swept.
John Richard "Ducky" Schofield built a 19-year major-league career as a switch-hitting infielder, breaking in with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1953 as an 18-year-old bonus baby - the first the franchise ever signed - before a June 1958 trade sent him to the Pittsburgh Pirates for Gene Freese and Johnny O'Brien. Blocked for years by shortstop Dick Groat, he became a Pittsburgh favorite in September 1960, hitting .403 after Groat's wrist was broken, though a healed Groat took the job back for the World Series that Pittsburgh went on to win. Once Groat was traded to St. Louis, Schofield finally opened at shortstop three straight years, 1963 through 1965, then moved on to the Giants, Yankees, Dodgers, Cardinals, Red Sox and Brewers as a utility man valued far more for his glove than for a .227 bat. He took his nickname from his father, a minor-league shortstop also called Ducky. Springfield, Illinois put three generations in at once, inducting Schofield, his father and his daughter Kim into its Sports Hall of Fame in 1991; he is not a National Baseball Hall of Fame inductee.
