Timeline

1935

John Richard "Ducky" Schofield (January 7, 1935 – July 11, 2022) was an American professional baseball infielder who played 19 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB).

Schofield was born in Springfield, Illinois, on January 7, 1935.

He was the only child of Florence and John "Ducky" Schofield, who played 11 seasons of minor league baseball and made it to Double-A with Kansas City before going into farming.

1952

Schofield attended Springfield High School in his hometown, where he played baseball and led its team to the Illinois Junior American Legion Championship as a junior in 1952.

He was awarded a basketball scholarship by Northwestern University.

1953

He played for the St. Louis Cardinals, Pittsburgh Pirates, San Francisco Giants, New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers, Boston Red Sox, and Milwaukee Brewers from 1953 to 1971.

However, he signed as an amateur free agent with the St. Louis Cardinals in June 1953, becoming the franchise's first bonus baby.

Schofield made his MLB debut for the Cardinals on July 3, 1953, at the age of 18, entering as a pinch runner in a 10–3 loss to the Chicago Cubs.

He later collected his first hit on July 17 that year and hit his first home run on August 16.

During his first season in the majors, he recorded a .179 batting average with two home runs and four runs batted in (RBI).

1956

Schofield married Donna Dabney in June 1956.

1960

Schofield began the 1966 season as a utility player, having been displaced from the starting role by Tito Fuentes.

His contract was purchased by the New York Yankees on May 11 that year, but was limited to just 25 games with the franchise due to arm swelling.

He was later traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers on September 10, 1966, for Thad Tillotson; because this was after the trade deadline, Schofield was ineligible to play in the 1966 World Series.

He batted .216 with two home runs and 15 RBIs in 84 games the following year, before being released by the Dodgers in December 1967.
