1969 Topps #320 Dal Maxvill
About Dal Maxvill
Maxvill's lone 1969 card, #320, is a series-3 issue following his best year. He batted .253 in 151 games in 1968, his career best, won the National League Gold Glove at shortstop, and was the only Cardinal to start every game of the club's post-All-Star run of 59 games in 56 days. Then came a seven-game World Series loss to Detroit and an 0-for-22, a Series record for futility. That April he hit the first major-league grand slam struck in Canada, at Montreal's Parc Jarry.
Charles Dallan Maxvill was born February 18, 1939, in Granite City, Illinois, and graduated from Washington University in St. Louis in 1960 with a degree in electrical engineering, batting .350 as a senior. Cardinals scout Joe Monahan signed him for a $1,000 bonus, and he reached the majors on June 10, 1962. Across fourteen seasons (1962-1975) with St. Louis, Oakland and Pittsburgh he was valued almost entirely for his glove, finishing at .217 with six home runs in 1,423 games. He became the Cardinals' regular shortstop in 1966 and won the National League Gold Glove there in 1968. He played on four World Series winners: the Cardinals in 1964 and 1967 and the Athletics in 1972 and 1974. After retiring he coached third base for the Mets in 1978 and worked on the Cardinals' and Braves' staffs, then served as St. Louis general manager from February 1985 until September 1994, a tenure that took in National League pennants in 1985 and 1987.
