Dick Schofield
Richard Craig Schofield (born November 21, 1962) is an American former professional baseball shortstop and coach. 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 1993 World Series champion Blue Jays, although did not play in the postseason 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 June 8, 1981, the California Angels drafted Schofield with the third overall pick in the 1st round of the 1981 Major League Baseball draft.
On August 29, 1986, Schofield hit a walk-off grand slam home run against the Detroit Tigers to give the Angels a 13–12 victory and culminate an eight-run rally in the last of the ninth inning.
On April 12, 1992, Schofield was traded by the Angels to the New York Mets for Julio Valera and a player to be named later who would be minor league pitcher Julian Vasquez.
On January 15, 1993, Schofield signed with the Toronto Blue Jays where he played for two seasons.
On April 15, 1995, Schofield signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers but would be released the following month. He signed with the Angels on August 4th after an injury to their all-star shortstop Gary DiSarcina during the team's postseason push. He returned to the Angels the following season, playing his final game on September 29, 1996.
After retiring, Schofield took a couple of years off before venturing into coaching. He started as a coach for the River City Rascals in 1999. The next year he worked part-time as a special instructor with the Springfield Capitals. He earned a promotion in 2001 to manager and Director of Baseball Operations with the Rascals. Both of these teams played in the independent Frontier League.
