USC Great Rich Dauer Dies

Rich Dauer, one of the greatest players in USC baseball history, has passed away. He was 72.

Dauer led to USC to College World Series titles in 1973 and 1974.

How good was he?

In 1974, Dauer led the nation in hits (108), total bases (181) and RBI (92), all totals that set single-season NCAA records at the time. He was a first-team All-American.

He was an All-Conference selection each of his two years at USC and the led the Trojans in batting average (.361/.387), home runs (11/15), hits (73/108) and RBI (43/92) during both championship seasons.

Dauer played third base at USC. He went to Colton High School and San Bernardino Valley College and then spent his entire 10-year career with the Baltimore Orioles, where he played second base.

Dauer was selected 24th overall in the first round of the 1974 MLB Draft by the Orioles. He would make his MLB debut with the team in 1976 and played 10 seasons in the league, winning a World Series title with the Orioles in 1983.

Dauer is a member of the College Baseball Hall of Fame; the USC Hall of Fame and Orioles’ Hall of Fame.

  1. He was one of the best Dedeaux got out Junior College along

    with Tom Seaver. Too young these days to pass away. Those

    were the best of times in USC baseball history. My condolences

      3. It was so hilarious yesterday watching Cowardly Gabby mouth the Fake New Talking Points that tariffs were going to destroy the economy and then Mexico and Canada surrendered. Suddenly Cowardly Gabby has nothing to say!

  7. KAM: A lot going on in Los Angeles now, L.A., the city where I beat you more than 2-to-1

    DON: Your dig is duly noted

    KAM: Immigrants are labeling your policies as dehumanizing and anti-immigrant

    DON: Nonsense, I want people from around the world to come to America to work if they are documented. It is the undocumented that I am interested in, and I know I can’t catch all the ones you let in, but a lot of this is for ‘show’ to discourage further illegal immigration across our borders

  8. Don: Besides, if I were to arrest every illegal in Los Angeles, I’d wipe out L.A.

    KAM: Maybe the better tact would be to leave the ones here alone while tightening the border

    DON: But you aren’t the President
