Richard Craig "Dick" Schofield (born November 21, 1962 in Springfield, Illinois) was a Major League Baseball shortstop who played a total of 14 seasons, spanning from 1983-1996. Schofield played the majority of his career with the California Angels, but played on the 1993 Toronto Blue Jays team that eventually won the World Series. Schofield did not play in the postseason that year, however. He shares the record, for most seasons having at least 400 at-bats and less than 100 hits, doing it four times.
Schofield signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1995 and finished his career with the Angels the following season, playing his final game on September 29, 1996.
He is the son of former Major League Baseball player Ducky Schofield, and the uncle of current Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Jayson Werth. He is currently the hitting coach of the Tempe Angels.
Currently, Schofield is an elected official in his hometown of Springfield, Illinois, serving on the Springfield Metropolitan Exposition and Auditorium Authority.
