Washington Senators

Major League Teams: Washington Senators 1962-1964
Dave Stenhouse pitched for 13 years professionally, with three of those years spent in the majors with the Washington Senators. Originally drafted by the Cubs, Stenhouse pitched in the Cubs and Reds organizations between 1955 and 1961. On December 15, 1961, he was traded by the Reds with Bob Schmidt (#582) to the Senators for Marty Keough (#263) and Johnny Klippstein (#384). Stenhouse made the Senators' opening day roster in 1962 and got off to a hot start. Among the league leaders in ERA heading to the All-Star break, Stenhouse was named to both 1962 All-Star teams. He started the second game, allowing a run on three hits over two innings of work. Stenhouse was the ace of the Senators pitching staff in 1962, going 11-12 with a 3.65 ERA in 34 appearances. After two less successful seasons with the Senators in 1963 and 1964, Stenhouse would spend the next three seasons pitching in the minors, retiring in 1967.
For his big league career, he was 16-28 in 76 games pitched with a 4.14 ERA over 372 innings. In the minors, he was 96-77 in 261 games pitched. He'd serve as the head coach for the Brown University baseball team between 1981 and 1990. Stenhouse's son Mike Stenhouse was an outfielder with the Expos and Red Sox between 1982 and 1986.
Building the Set
December 4, 2021 from The Philly Show (Uncle Dick's Cards, Babylon, NY) - Card #410
You'll be seeing this particular passage on my 1965 Topps blog for quite some time as we added a whopping 97 cards to our set during the December Philadelphia Sports Collectors Show. If I'm ambitious and compose posts for five cards a week, I should be completely caught up by the end of May. If I'm not as ambitious, I might still be going through this stack by the time we hit July. Either way, I'll enjoy the process and I'm looking forward to taking my time. I've posted a complete summary of this fantastic show over at The Phillies Room.
The Card / Senators Team Set
The photo used here dates back to at least 1962 as that was the last season the Senators wore the straight W logo on their caps. For the 1963 season, they switched to the curly W logo and all the Senators hats on cards I've added to our set (so far) are the curly W variety. The photo also appears to match the mini photo found on his 1963 Topps card. Stenhouse signed reprints of this card for the 2014 Topps Heritage Real One Autographs set.
1965 Season
Stenhouse last appeared in the majors on October 4, 1964. His entire 1965 season was spent in the minors with a pair of games for the Hawaii Islanders in the Pacific Coast League and 16 games for the York White Roses in the Eastern League. In 18 total minor league games, Stenhouse was 8-3 with a 3.46 ERA over 91 innings pitched.

After securing Doug's Jim Thome autograph, I returned to Uncle Dick's and their neon green shirts, pulled up a chair, and settled in. Over the course of 45 minutes or so, I found 79 cards needed for our set, including this Stenhouse card which was a little less than $2 after the dealer discount. I was surrounded by six or seven other seated collectors, all who looked similar to me, with a touch of gray, focused on their individual quests. I wiped out Uncle Dick's two 1965 Topps commons binders, paid for my haul and then retreated to a table with Doug to update our checklist.
