About Dave Winfield, Hall of Famer

Dave Winfield was a right fielder who played 22 seasons across six MLB teams: the Padres, Yankees, Angels, Blue Jays, Twins, and Indians. Starting with San Diego in 1973, he developed into a consistent All-Star, winning seven Gold Glove Awards and six Silver Slugger Awards. His Yankees years were marked by brilliance on the field despite tumultuous relations with owner George Steinbrenner. At age 41, Winfield joined the Toronto Blue Jays and delivered the winning hit in the 1992 World Series against Atlanta. He entered the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2001 on his first ballot.

Did you know? Winfield was drafted by four different professional sports teams in 1973—the Padres, Hawks, Utah Stars, and Vikings—making him one of only five players ever drafted by three professional sports.
