Dick Whitman Autographs
Dick Corwin Whitman (November 9, 1920 – February 12, 2003) was an American professional baseball player. The outfielder, a native of Woodburn, Oregon, appeared in 285 games in Major League Baseball over all or parts of six seasons (1946–1951) for the Brooklyn Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies. He batted left-handed, threw right-handed, and was listed as 5 feet 11 inches (1.80 m) tall and 170 pounds (77 kg).
Whitman played college baseball at the University of Oregon and signed with Brooklyn prior to the 1942 baseball season. He played for two lower-level Dodger farm teams that year and hit a composite .313. Then he entered the United States Army for World War II service. Sent to the European Theater in December 1944, he was a veteran of the Battle of the Bulge, earning a Purple Heart, Bronze Star and three battle stars.
He returned to baseball in 1946, and in only his second pro season, he won a place on the Dodgers' MLB roster. As a rookie, Whitman was the pennant-contending Dodgers' starting left-fielder and #3 hitter on Opening Day, April 16 against the Boston Braves. Although he was held hitless in his first two National League games, he was Brooklyn's regular left-fielder for the season's first 13 games. On May 1, he started in center field and went five-for-five against the Chicago Cubs; the Dodgers won 5–1 to improve their record to 9–4 while Whitman's batting average rose to .263. But Whitman soon assumed the role of backup center-fielder to fellow rookie Carl Furillo, although he started another 40 games in center. In 104 games played, he collected 69 hits, 15 doubles, three triples, two home runs and 31 runs batted in—all of which were his MLB career bests.
