Baseball Player
Major League Baseball Player. He was a starting and relief pitcher for six different Major League Baseball teams (Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees, Cleveland Indians, Minnesota Twins, St. Louis Cardinals, Boston Red Sox) from 1958 to 1972.
He was signed as a free agent by the Brooklyn Dodgers and made the parent club after they moved to Los Angeles in 1958. After joining the Dodgers, he became a staple in a rotation that also featured Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale and Johnny Podres. Still primarily a reliever in 1959, he helped the Dodgers win their first World Series in Los Angeles by defeating the White Sox in six games.
His best season as a Dodger came in ’60, when he posted a 3.00 ERA over 207 1/3 innings and was named an NL All-Star. The Dodgers traded him to the New York Yankees for Bill “Moose” Skowron following the ’62 campaign. He spent two seasons with the Yanks before pitching for the Cleveland Indians from 1965-69.
Cleveland traded him to the Minnesota Twins prior to the ’70 season, and he proceeded to post a 1.99 ERA over 68 relief appearances. His stay with Minnesota was short-lived, however, as the Twins traded him during the 1971 season to the Cardinals. He pitched in three games for the Red Sox in 1972, his final season as a player. He finished his playing career with a record of 109-94 and a 3.48 ERA.
He would go on to become a pitching coach, scout and adviser to several clubs, and was the Cincinnati Reds’ pitching coach when the team won the 1990 World Series over the heavily favored Oakland Athletics. He was also a pitching coach for the Red Sox and Yankees.
