On August 29, 1986, Schofield hit a walk-off grand slam homer against Detroit to give the Angels a 13–12 victory and culminate an eight-run rally in the last of the ninth inning.

Schofield signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1995 and finished his career with the Angels the following season, playing his final game on September 29, 1996.

He is the son of former Major League Baseball player Ducky Schofield, and the uncle of current Washington Nationals outfielder Jayson Werth. His father also went by Dick Schofield, although Richard was his father's middle name so technically this is not a "Senior/Junior" situation. His father was born John Richard Schofield but did not use his first name and was called "Dick" or "Ducky."
