1968 Topps #431 Dooley Womack
About Dooley Womack
Womack opened 1968 slowly but settled in, finishing 3-7 with a 3.21 ERA in 45 games as the Yankees' main reliever, leading the club in appearances and games finished. On June 3, facing the Minnesota Twins, he started a triple play, throwing to third and starting a sequence that doubled off Tony Oliva and Bob Allison. This card, from the fifth print series, pictures him with the Yankees.
Horace Guy Womack, born August 25, 1939, in Columbia, South Carolina, pitched right-handed under the nickname Dooley, given to him as a boy by a family friend called Dool. Signed by the Yankees in 1958, he spent eight seasons in the minors before reaching the majors in 1966 at age 26, almost exclusively as a reliever. Listed at 6 feet, 170 pounds, he relied on control rather than power, working the ball low in the strike zone. Over five major league seasons with the Yankees, Houston Astros, Seattle Pilots and Oakland Athletics, he went 19-18 with a 2.95 ERA and 24 saves in 193 games, making one start. His best year came in 1967, when he led the Yankees with 18 saves. He was the pitcher of record when Mickey Mantle hit his 500th career home run on May 14, 1967. Womack retired in 1971 and later worked selling clothing, in real estate, and in commercial flooring, and coached American Legion baseball. He is not a Hall of Fame inductee.
