Dick Stuart (1932-2002) began as a minor league first baseman,
noted for his outsized ego and terrible fielding. His brash
personality and 66 home runs for the Lincoln Chiefs of the Western
League made him a national figure in 1956. In 1958, he came up to
the majors in Pittsburgh and played some fine seasons with the
Pirates, and later the Boston Red Sox. In 1961, he was selected for
the National League All-Star team, and he led the American League
in RBI in 1963. A wise-cracking bon vivant, his career was not what
it might have been. If he had worked harder, he might have been a
better player. If Bill Mazeroski hadn't ended the 1960 Series with
a home run, Stuart, who was on deck, might have been the hero. Yet
his great hitting ability, quick wit and love for the limelight
made him one of the most interesting players of his era.
