Brewers Auto Round-Tripper Pt. 3

I tried at Target yesterday for some Update blasters, but OF COURSE, they didn't have any yet. So, here are some more Brewers autos I've recently acquired. This one we'll call the 'Dooley n Dick' edition...

Dooley Womack lacks a Pilots card, but Commissioner Bob was nice enough to mail me this one a few months back. Dooley broke in with the Yankees in 1966 and saw plenty of action during one of the Bombers’ most forgettable periods. He was traded to the Astros after the 1968 season for Dick Simpson (another future Pilot) and was sent to Seattle near the end of the 1969 season for the man profiled above, Jim Bouton. He pitched well for the Pilots in a handful of games, but was traded after the season in what baseball-reference.com calls an “unknown transaction.”

Most Impressive Pilots Stat: 2.51 ERA over 14.1 innings.

Wayne Comer was the Pilots’ everyday center fielder and put up decent numbers in what would be – far and away – his best season in the bigs. He hit 15 homers and managed a .354 OBP to go with 18 steals. He opened the 1970 season with the Brewers before he was traded to the Senators for Hank Allen and Ron Theobald.

Most Impressive Pilots/Brewers Stat: 14 OF assists in 1969, 2^nd in the AL

Dick Schofield joined the Brewers at the very end of a 19-year career. He broke in the Cardinals in 1953 at age 18 and an important cog in the 1960 Pirates’ World Championship team. He came to the Brewers in a trade in late July and played mostly off the bench. He managed only three hits with the Brewers.

Most Impressive Brewers Stat: Played errorless at 2B, SS, and 3B.

Kevin Kobel debuted with the Brewers in 1973 at the tender age of 19 and is still the only Brewers pitcher to appear in the majors as a teenager. Even more interesting is that he doesn’t really seem to have been much of a prospect. He was drafted in the 11^th round and had pitched decently, but not overly fantastic over three minor league seasons. He joined the Brewers rotation in 1974, pitching pretty well for a 20-year-old with a 3.99 ERA and a pair of shutouts. He developed arm troubles the next season and would only throw four more innings for the Brewers.

Most Impressive Brewers Stat: 2.06 ERA over his first nine games in 1974, at age 20.
