Any baseball player who makes the Hall of Fame does so because of talent and sweat. Some also rely on adaptability. Few ballplayers exemplify that more than Dave Winfield.
Dave Winfield was the first active athlete to establish a charitable foundation. From its humble beginnings in 1975, to an internationally acclaimed substance abuse prevention leader, the David M. Winfield Foundation, with a $4 million endowment (funded primarily by Winfield), provided services to underprivileged youth, families in need, and the cities in which he played.
