  • Don Lee Blasingame (March 16, 1932 – April 13, 2005) was a second baseman in Major League Baseball who played with the St. Louis Cardinals (1955-1959), San Francisco Giants (1960-1961), Cincinnati Reds (1961-1963), Washington Senators (1963-1966) and Kansas City Athletics (1966). Blasingame batted left-handed and threw right-handed. His father-in-law, Walker Cooper, also was a major leaguer. Nicknamed “Blazer”, Blasingame was a hustling everyday second baseman with five MLB teams in 12 seasons, but he was best known for becoming only the third American to manage in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball. Blasingame was a .258 career hitter with 21 home runs and 308 RBI in 1444 games. A classic line drive hitter, Blasingame was also a skillful bunter and a fast and smart runner. In 1956, he started as a regular with the Cardinals replacing Red Schoendienst. In his career, Blasingame was particularly fast getting down the line, hitting into fewer double plays (one in every 123 at-bats) than anyone in major league history except Don Buford. Blasingame enjoyed his best season in 1957, when he hit .271 and posted career-highs in home runs (8), RBI (58), runs (101), hits (176) and stolen bases (21). In 1958, he followed with .274, 19 doubles, 10 triples and 20 steals, and also was named to the National League All-Star team. In 1959, Blasingame hit .289 with 26 doubles, both career highs. After seven years shared with the Reds, Giants, Senators and Athletics, Blasingame finished his major league career in the 1966 season. Opting to continue his playing career in Japan, Blasingame joined the Nankai Hawks in 1967, playing as a second baseman for three years until 1969, when he joined the team‘s coaching staff for the next nine seasons. In 1978, he was named head coach of the Hiroshima Toyo Carp for just one season. Blasingame then managed the Hanshin Tigers for two seasons before returning to the Nankai Hawks from 1981 to 1982. As manager for the two teams, he compiled a record of 180-208-28 (ties are played in Japanese baseball). Blasingame died in Fountain Hills, Arizona at the age of 73.
