Don Mincher Stats

Don Mincher was born on Friday, June 24, 1938, in Huntsville, Alabama. Mincher was 21 years old when he broke into the big leagues on April 18, 1960, with the Washington Senators. 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 Don Mincher baseball stats page.
"He (Tommy McCraw) ended up sharing first base with Don Mincher, who had played with the old Senators in 1960. Aside from being one of the nine men to play for both Washington franchises, Mincher is the one and only player to have been a member of the original and second Senators, as well as of both the Minnesota Twins and Texas Rangers." - Author Tom Deveaux in Washington Senators, 1901-1971 (McFarland and Company Publishing, 08/2005, Page 251)

Sponsored by Scott McMorran in appreciation for Baseball Almanac's effort to keep Don Mincher's baseball memories alive and well. At about the age of 10 -- two things happened. I decided first base would be my position and Don Mincher entered my life via the Twins move from Washington DC to Minneapolis. Don Mincher was what I would call a technician at first base and I was deeply saddened to read of the death of my boyhood hero.
