Dave Cash (baseball)

David Cash, Jr. (born June 11, 1948 in Utica, New York) is a retired Major League Baseball second baseman who played in the National League for the Pittsburgh Pirates (1969–73), Philadelphia Phillies (1974–76), Montreal Expos (1977–79), and San Diego Padres (1980).

Career

Cash's MLB career started modestly, as he played in only 82 games over his first two seasons, though he still hit a very respectable .314 in 271 at-bats. Cash established himself as a solid singles hitter and a good defensive second baseman in his time in Pittsburgh. He was the Pirates' primary second baseman from 1971 to 1973, but his playing time was reduced somewhat by military service commitments and by the presence on the team of veteran second baseman Bill Mazeroski and rising star Rennie Stennett. After the 1973 season, with Stennett ready to play regularly and another excellent young second baseman (Willie Randolph) in their minor league system, the Pirates traded Cash to the Phillies for pitcher Ken Brett.
