Dave Kingman Stats

Dave Kingman was born on Tuesday, December 21, 1948, in Pendleton, Oregon. Kingman was 22 years old when he broke into the big leagues on July 30, 1971, with the San Francisco Giants. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Dave Kingman baseball stats page.
"The last time a pure home run hitter swung a bat for the Cubs at Wrigley Field, his personality wasn't the question. Ernie Banks' disposition came drenched in sunshine. One-Stroke Magic returned to Wrigley Field this spring in the person of lean and hungry David Arthur Kingman. He is an unquestionable slugging talent with a puzzling psyche marked 'fragile' and sure to be handled with care. The past is his bane." - Columnist Brian Hewitt in the Chicago Sun Times (Baseball Digest, July 1978)
