1962 Topps - Dick "Ducky" Schofield #484 (infielder) (PSA Certified) - Autographed Baseball Card (Pittsburgh Pirates)
John Richard "Ducky" Schofield (b: January 7, 1935) was a MLB infielder. He made his MLB debut with the St. Louis Cardinals on July 3, 1953, and appeared in his final game on September 30, 1971. Ducky was a member of the 1960 World Champion Pittsburgh Pirates and played a pivotal role in the team's N.L. pennant.
It appeared the Pirates had suffered a huge loss on September 6, 1960 when team captain Dick Groat, who would subsequently be honored as both the National League's batting champion and most valuable player, suffered a broken wrist. But Schofield took over as the Pirates' shortstop and batted .403 through the end of the season to help the Pirates clinch the N.L. pennant. He also hit .333 in the World Series (1 hit in 3 at-bats) after Groat returned. Ducky is also the first player to bat at Shea Stadium in 1964 with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Career statistics:
Batting average - .227
Home runs - 21
RBI - 211
