Share your memories of Dick Schofield HERE IS WHAT OTHER METS FANS HAVE TO SAY: flushing flash He was the first shortstop I ever saw who started a double play by flipping the ball behind his back to the second baseman. In fact, he did this several times during the 1992 season. The best fielding shortstop in Mets history not named Rey Ordonez. Metro2003 February 23, 2003 All I remember about Dick Schofield was him hitting a game winning homer to left field, he sucked but for that day we loved him. Fat Mike June 23, 2003 I actually saw someone wearing a Schofield #11 Mets jersey at Shea during the 2001 season. If the wearer of that jersey happens to stumble upon these comments, please let me know how I can get one of my own. Tom Shannon April 22, 2004 He had one good game with the Mets...actually, I beleive he still holds a team record for most RBI by a SS in one game (6!) Bob P July 29, 2004 Dick Schofield's father (also named Dick Schofield) was the first batter in the history of Shea Stadium. He popped out to lead off the game on April 17, 1964. VIBaseball August 8, 2004 I looked it up here, it must have been May 30, 1992. Schofield made a full-length diving stop on a sharp grounder up the middle, but he couldn't get to his feet in time to throw the batter out. What's more, the runner on second came all the way around to score on the infield single. That runner was Deion Sanders, who had me believing after that day (4 for 5, three runs scored) that he could be a baseball star. But of course, he was more baseball dilettante. Jonathan Stern January 14, 2005 Played in 142 games and fielded his position brilliantly in all of them. But didn't hit worth a lick. Oh well, two out of three ain't bad, especially if you're a Met. Replaced the next year (1993) by the immortal Tony Fernandez (@#$! GRRR! #%&@!), who later that same season joined Schofield in Toronto, where they both won World Series rings. But for better or worse, Schofield will likely be most remembered as the starting shortstop for the ill-fated 1986 California Angels. KMT March 3, 2005 Didn't Elster hurt his arm that spring? The Mets needed someone to play short in a hurry. It was a great move: first they got rid of fat Julio Valera, and Dick played a terrific short the entire season! The Mets were used to his offensive production. It's probably what Harrelson gave them all those years! All in all, not a bad pick-up. He served the Mets well that season. VIBaseball November 12, 2010 The uncle of Met-killer Jayson Werth. PJ January 10, 2014 I was at Shea on an afternoon when he hit one of his homers in a Mets uniform. Think how surprised we were! Excellent glove at short, but couldn't hit a parked bus.
