zoneranger Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 Throughout his baseball career, Dick Stuart was known as a fine hitter, but a subpar fielder, garnering the unique nickname of "Dr. Strangeglove" for his poor defense. That was a play on words of the movie Dr. Strangelove, which was released in the middle years of Stuart's career. Similarly, the movie Goldfinger inspired another nickname, "Stonefingers". In 1963, he set a record by committing 29 errors, a major league record for first basemen that still stands.Trivia Fact: Dick Stuart was the first player to hit 30 or more home runs in a season in both leagues. 1961 in Pittsburgh and 1963 in Boston.
