Winfield grew up in St. Paul, Minnesota. Saint Paul ( abbreviated St Paul) is the capital and second most populous city in the U Minnesota ( Native Americans demonstrated the name to early settlers His parents divorced when he was three years old, leaving him and his older brother Stephen to be raised by their mom, Arline, and a huge extended family of aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins and mentors. [1]
The Winfield brothers honed their athletic skills in St. Paul's Oxford playground, where coach Bill Petersen was one of the first to take the young Winfield under his wing. It wasn't until his senior year in high school that Winfield grew into the formidable 6'6" tower of power he would become. [2]
He earned a full scholarship to the University of Minnesota in 1969, where he starred in basketball and baseball for the Golden Gophers. The University of Minnesota Twin Cities ( U of M or The U) is the oldest and largest part of the University of Minnesota system.

His college basketball coach was a young Bill Musselman, who went on to serve as a head coach in the American Basketball Association and National Basketball Association and would later refer to Winfield as the best rebounder he ever had. William Clifford (Bill Musselman ( August 13 1940 - May 5 2000) was an American basketball coach in the NCAA, the ABA The American Basketball Association ( ABA) was a professional Basketball league founded in 1967, and eventually merged in part with the National Winfield's 1972 Minnesota team won a Big 10 basketball championship, the school's first in 53 years.

Winfield also played for the Alaska Goldpanners for two seasons (1971-72) and was the MVP in 1972. Following college, Winfield was drafted by four teams in three different sports. The San Diego Padres selected him as an outfielder with the fourth overall pick in the MLB draft and both the Atlanta Hawks (NBA) and the Utah Stars (ABA) drafted him. And even though he never played college football, the Minnesota Vikings selected Winfield in the 17th round of the NFL draft. He is currently one of two players ever to be drafted by three professional sports (the other being Dave Logan). David Russell Logan (born February 2, 1954 in Fargo North Dakota) is a former American football player [4]
San Diego Padres
Winfield chose baseball, and gained another distinction when the Padres promoted him directly to the majors. This is a rare move in modern baseball, making him one of a select few players since the origins of the amateur draft in 1965 to make the leap straight to Major League Baseball without playing in the minor leagues first.

New York Yankees
In 1981, New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner made headlines by signing Winfield to a 10-year, $23 million contract, making him the game's highest-paid player. Champions Major League Baseball World Series: Los Angeles Dodgers over New York Yankees (4-2 Ron Cey, Pedro Guerrero The New York Yankees are a professional baseball team based in the borough of The Bronx, in New York City, New York. George Michael Steinbrenner III (born July 4, 1930 in Rocky River Ohio) is an American Billionaire businessman and the principal Winfield was one of the best players in the game throughout the life of the contract, but soon had a falling out with Steinbrenner.
He helped the Yankees to the 1981 American League pennant, but then had a poor World Series, and the Yankees lost in six games to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 1981 World Series matched the New York Yankees against the Los Angeles Dodgers, marking their third meeting in the Series in five years The Los Angeles Dodgers are a Major League Baseball team based in Los Angeles California, USA A bitter Steinbrenner derided Winfield in 1985 by saying "I got rid of Mr. October (Reggie Jackson) and got Mr. Reginald Martinez Jackson (born May 18 1946) nicknamed " Mr May. " Many commentators however note that Winfield’s post-season doldrums were somewhat overstated when looked at comparatively to his teammates. In the exciting 1981 American League Division Series Winfield batted . The 1981 American League Division Series ( ALDS) the opening round of the 1981 American League playoffs began on Tuesday October 6 350 with two doubles and a triple and made some important defensive plays helping the Yankees to victory over the Brewers. Four of his seven hits came in games won by the Yankees. Although his World Series performance was poor, the offense for the most part was inconsistent. The team was also set back by key injuries to Reggie Jackson and Graig Nettles. Reginald Martinez Jackson (born May 18 1946) nicknamed " Mr Graig Nettles (born August 20, 1944, in San Diego California) (nicknamed Puff) is a former Major League Baseball Third baseman The Mr. May sobriquet lived with him until Toronto won the 1992 World Series with Winfield. A sobriquet is a Nickname or a fancy name usually a familiar name given by others as distinct from a Pseudonym assumed as a disguise but a nickname which is familiar
Steinbrenner regularly leaked insulting stories about Winfield to the press and often tried to trade him, but Winfield's later status as a 10-and-5 player (10 years in the majors, five years with a single team) meant he could not be traded without his consent.
He went on to hit 37 home runs in a spectacular 1982 season and in 1984, he batted .

[5] For years afterward Winfield's appearances in Toronto were greeted with loud choruses of boos, but he later became a fan favorite due to his outstanding play once he joined the Blue Jays.
In 1990, Steinbrenner was suspended from running the Yankees for two years because of his connections to Howie Spira, a known gambler with mafia connections [2], whom he'd paid $40,000 for embarrassing information on Winfield.

The 1994 Major League baseball strike was the eighth work stoppage in Baseball history as well as the fourth in-season work stoppage " The 1994 season was cancelled two weeks later, so Winfield did not play for the Indians that year and no player was ever named in exchange. To settle the trade, Cleveland and Minnesota executives went to dinner, with the Indians picking up the tab. This makes Winfield the only player in major league history to be traded for a dinner. [6]

The Winfield Foundation
Known as much for his philanthropic work, Winfield began giving back to the communities in which he played from the beginning of his professional athletic career. In 1973, his first year with the Padres, he began buying blocks of tickets to Padres games for families who couldn't afford to go to games, in a program known as "pavilions". Winfield then added health clinics to the equation, by partnering with San Diego's Scripps Clinic who had a mobile clinic which was brought into the stadium parking lot. [9]
In his hometown of St. Paul, he began a scholarship program (which continues to this day). In 1977, he organized his efforts into an official 501(c)(3) charitable organization, known as the David M. Winfield Foundation for Underprivileged Youth, the first active athlete to do so. [10]
As his salary increased and he partnered with more corporations, the programs expanded to include holiday dinner giveaways and national scholarships. In 1978, San Diego hosted the All-Star game, and Winfield bought his usual block of pavilion tickets. Year 1978 ( MCMLXXVIII) was a Common year starting on Sunday (link displays the 1978 Gregorian calendar) Winfield then went on a local radio station and inadvertently invited "all the kids of San Diego" to attend. The huge turnout resulted in the first open-practice of the All-Star game, which has been adopted by Major League Baseball and continues to this day. [11]
When Winfield joined the New York Yankees, he set aside $4 million of his salary for the Winfield Foundation. The Foundation then partnered with Merck Pharmaceuticals and created an internationally acclaimed bilingual substance abuse prevention program called "Turn it Around". Merck & Co Inc ( also known as Merck Sharp & Dohme or MSD outside the USA and Canada, is one of the largest Pharmaceutical companies [12]
The Foundation also became a bone of contention in Winfield's public feud with George Steinbrenner; Steinbrenner accused the Foundation of mishandling funds and often held back payments which resulted in long, costly court battles. George Michael Steinbrenner III (born July 4, 1930 in Rocky River Ohio) is an American Billionaire businessman and the principal Ironically, Steinbrenner was in fact holding back part of Winfield's salary; he wasn't actually making contributions to the Foundation. Ultimately, the Foundation was paid and the alleged improprieties proved unfounded.
This aspect of Winfield's career influenced many of MLB's players as much as his on-field play. Derek Jeter, who grew up idolizing Winfield, credits him for his own philanthropic endeavors. Derek Sanderson Jeter (ˈʤitɚ born June 26 1974 is an American Major League Baseball player His own Turn2 Foundation has honored Winfield[3], and Winfield continues to help raise funds and awareness for Jeter's Foundation and for many other groups and causes throughout the country.
