About Dave Campbell
Campbell's 1973 season was split among three clubs, San Diego, St. Louis and Houston, and totaled 55 games with a .194 average and 11 RBI, mostly at second base. His 1974 Topps card, #556, lists him with the Astros. He appeared in 35 games for Houston that year, hitting .087, and his last major league game came on September 30, 1974.
David Wilson Campbell was born January 14, 1942, in Manistee, Michigan, and grew up in Lansing, where his father coached him in baseball and football. He starred at the University of Michigan, helping the Wolverines win the 1962 College World Series, then signed with the Detroit Tigers in 1964. A right-handed-hitting utility infielder, Campbell reached the majors with Detroit in 1967 and spent parts of eight seasons with the Tigers, San Diego Padres, St. Louis Cardinals, and Houston Astros through 1974, playing first, second, and third base. His only season as a regular came with the 1970 Padres, when he appeared in 154 games. He finished with a .213 career average, 20 home runs and 89 RBI. After retiring as a player, Campbell built a long career in broadcasting, calling games for the Padres and later working national baseball broadcasts for ESPN from 1990 to 2010.
