1973 Topps #483 Dal Maxvill
About Dal Maxvill
Maxvill finished 1972 in Oakland's rotating second-base system, and one September at-bat settled a game. On September 28 he was the fourth second baseman the Athletics used against Minnesota, and his double to left in the bottom of the ninth won it 8-7. That left Oakland six games up in the American League West with five to play. He played in every game of the ALCS against Detroit, starting three at shortstop. Topps #483, from the fourth series, has him with the Athletics.
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 known for his glove and finished 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 earned four World Series rings, with 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.
