Dick Selma

Dossier
Richard Jay Selma (November 4, 1943 – August 29, 2001) was a right-handed pitcher who appeared in the major leagues from 1965 to 1974 with six clubs: the New York Mets, Chicago Cubs, San Diego Padres, Philadelphia Phillies, California Angels, and Milwaukee Brewers. A product of Fresno City College, he signed with the Mets as an amateur free agent in 1963. In just his second career start he threw a 10-inning shutout, striking out 13 batters — a Mets franchise record at the time. His 1968 season with the Mets (9–10, 2.76 ERA, 117 strikeouts) prompted the expansion Padres to select him fifth overall in that year's expansion draft.
