== Schofield in RBI ==

Schofield is a decent, but not great, player in RBI. His stats are actually quite impressive. The 861 power is only a few points lower than [[Wally Joyner]], but most everyone would agree that Joyner is a much more dangerous hitter. Schofield lacks consistency, which is why he is nicknamed the X-Factor. When Schofield is on, the Angels are very difficult to beat. If he is off, the bottom the California lineup typically suffers.

== Nicknames ==

* Richard
* Scrofeld
