Daryl Berdene Robertson (January 5, 1936 – July 31, 2018) was an American
player. The infielder appeared in nine Major League games in May 1962 for the Chicago Cubs. Born in Cripple Creek, Colorado, Robertson attended the University of Utah
. He batted and threw right-handed, was 6 feet (1.83 m) tall and weighed 184 pounds (83 kg).
He was signed by the
minor league draft. He spent four seasons in the Braves' system without reaching the Triple-A level. Then, at the close of spring training in 1961, he was traded to the Cubs with fellow infielder Andre Rodgers for pitchers Moe Drabowsky and Seth Morehead
.
Rodgers was the Cubs' starting
at bats. Both safeties came on the same day, May 12 against the Philadelphia Phillies at Wrigley Field.[1] The Cubs traded Robertson to the St. Louis Cardinals
June 5, but he never appeared in a big-league game for the Redbirds. He spent the rest of the 1962 campaign, his last in baseball, in the minor leagues.
Robertson died July 31, 2018.[2]
