Dick Barone Autographs
Richard Anthony Barone (October 13, 1932 – April 23, 2015) was an American professional baseball player. A shortstop and second baseman, he played for a decade in minor league baseball, and appeared in three Major League Baseball (MLB) games with the 1960 Pittsburgh Pirates. The native of San Jose, California, threw and batted right-handed, stood 5 feet 9 inches (1.75 m) tall and weighed 165 pounds (75 kg). He was the grandfather of former major league pitcher Daniel Barone.
Barone was in his eighth season of professional baseball when the Pittsburgh Pirates called him up in September 1960, when MLB active rosters expanded to 40 players. He had batted .204 in 143 games played for the Triple-A Columbus Jets of the International League. The 1960 Pirates were en route to their first National League title since 1927. Barone debuted as a pinch runner for 42-year-old player-coach Mickey Vernon on September 22 in the ninth inning of a 2–2 game against the Chicago Cubs, but did not score in a contest eventually won by Pittsburgh, 3–2 in 11 innings. The Pirates clinched the pennant three days later, on September 25.
On September 27, Barone started his only major league game. Playing shortstop against the Cincinnati Reds, he played errorless ball in the field, handling five chances, and went hitless in five at bats and five plate appearances against the Reds' pitchers Bob Purkey, Orlando Peña and Cal McLish. It was another extra-inning game: Barone played the first 13 innings before he was removed for pinch hitter Smoky Burgess. The Pirates prevailed, 4–3, in 16 innings.
