Daniel John Dobbek (b: December 6, 1934) Before the 1955 season, Dan Dobbek was signed by the Washington Senators as an amateur free agent. Scouts in the Washington organization were touting Dobbek as a potential power hitter in the mold of Harmon Killebrew when he came up to the Senators in 1959 after hitting 23 home runs for the Chattanooga Lookouts.
The left-handed-hitting outfielder out of Western Michigan University hit 10 homers in 110 games in 1960 but was last seen in the majors with the Minnesota Twins in 1961, finishing with a .208 average and 15 home runs in 198 games overall. On January 30, 1962 the Twins traded Dobbek to the Cincinnati Reds for Jerry Zimmerman.
Dan would spend the rest of his pro baseball career in the minors and would finish up with the AA Macon Peaches in 1963. He would be in pro baseball from 1956 through 1963. He would appear in 515 games in the minors, hitting 65 home runs and ending up with a .269 batting average.
MLB statistics:
Batting average - .208
Home runs - 15

Great American Ballpark is a major league baseball stadium in Cincinnati, Oh.
Opening in 2003, Great American Ballpark is the home baseball stadium of the Cincinnati Reds. This stadium replaced Riverfron Stadium which set right next to where this stadium is now. Riverfront Stadium became too small and outdated considering it was used as the home of both the Reds and the Cincinnati Bengals NFL team. In 1996, a small tax increase was set for Cincinnati and those funds went to build this stadium and a new stadium for the Bengals.
