Athletes - Dick McAuliffe


Richard John McAuliffe (born November 29, 1939, in Hartford, Connecticut) is a former Major League Baseball second baseman primarily for the Detroit Tigers in the 1960s. He was a part of the Tigers' 1968 World Series championship.

Dick McAuliffe graduated from Farmington High School in Farmington, Connecticut, where he was coached by Leo Pinsky and won the state championship in 1957.

McAuliffe was a solid fielder, a potent hitter, and a quiet clubhouse leader. His steadying influence helped make it possible for manager Mayo Smith to take the radical step of playing center fielder Mickey Stanley
at shortstop in the World Series in order to get a better bat in the lineup against the St. Louis Cardinals, led by Bob Gibson
.

At the end of the 2005 season, McAuliffe's 197 career homeruns placed him at 267 on the all-time list.
