Richie Scheinblum played eight seasons in the Major Leagues with six different teams. Scheinblum made his big league debut in 1965 with the Cleveland Indians and spent the early part of his career bouncing in and out of the minors.
However, Scheinblum had his finest season with the Royals in 1972. He played as the team's starting right fieldr and hit .300 becoming the only Jewish switch-hitter to bat .300 during a full season. He also earned an All-Star selection that year.
Scheinblum's career faded quickly. His batting average dropped and he bounced around five different teams in the next two years. Scheinblum played his final game in 1974.
