Dennis Werth
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dennis Dean Werth (born December 29, 1952, in Lincoln, Illinois) was a Major League Baseball first baseman and outfielder. He is an alumnus of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.
Drafted by the New York Yankees in the 19th round of the 1974 MLB amateur draft, Werth would make his Major League Baseball debut with the New York Yankees on September 17, 1979, and appear in his final game on September 27, 1982. During the baseball strike in 1981, Werth was playing for the Columbus Clippers. Since the games were televised in the New York area, Yankees fans could see Werth and Wayne Harer doing Harry Caray impersonations.
Werth is the stepfather of current Major League Baseball outfielder Jayson Werth, and the husband of former U.S. Olympic athlete Kim Schofield Werth.
