Richard John "Dick" McAuliffe (November 29, 1939 – May 13, 2016) was an American professional baseball player.
He played in Major League Baseball as a shortstop and second baseman for the Detroit Tigers from 1960 to 1973 and for the Boston Red Sox from 1974 to 1975.
He was a part of the Tigers' 1968 World Series championship, and was known for his unusual batting stance.
A left-handed hitter, he held his hands very high with an open stance that faced the pitcher.
As the pitcher delivered to home plate, McAuliffe moved his forward (right) foot to a more conventional position for his swing.
