Dick Schofield
Richard Craig Schofield (born November 21, 1962) is an American former professional baseball shortstop. He played 14 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1983 to 1996 for the California Angels, New York Mets, Toronto Blue Jays, and Los Angeles Dodgers. Schofield was with the World Series champion Toronto Blue Jays in 1993, although did not play in the postseason that year after missing the bulk of the regular season when he suffered a bad break to his upper right arm. He shares the record for most seasons having at least 400 at bats with fewer than 100 hits, having done that four times. On August 29, 1986, Schofield hit a walk-off grand slam homer against Detroit to give the Angels a 13–12 victory and culminate an eight-run rally in the last of the ninth inning. Schofield signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1995 then finished his career with the Angels the following season, playing his final game on September 29, 1996. He is the son of the late former Major League Baseball player Ducky Schofield, and the uncle of former outfielder Jayson Werth. See also
