[edit] Biography

Born on January 9, 1936 in Big Cabin, Oklahoma, Ralph Terry (Ralph Willard Terry) played for the New York Yankees (1956-57, 1959-64), Kansas City Athletics (1957-59, 1966), Cleveland Indians (1965), and New York Mets (1966-67) over the course of his 12 year career. Terry broke into the bigs on August 6, 1956 with the New York Yankees, and put up a 3.33 ERA in 151.1 innings pitched in 1957, his rookie year.

Most people believe that Ralph Terry's best season was 1962, when he posted a 3.19 ERA, won 23 games and struck out 176 batters.

In his 12 seasons as a player, Terry posted a career record of 107-99, with 1000 strikeouts, a 3.27 earned run average, 257 games started, 75 games finished, 20 shutouts, 11 saves, and 446 bases on balls in 1849 innings pitched.

In five World Series (1960-64), Terry posted a record of 2-3, 31 strikeouts and a 2.93 ERA. Both wins came in the 1962 World Series (of which he was named MVP) against the San Francisco Giants, including a 1-0 shutout in Game 7 over Giant ace Jack Sanford. That game—and thus the Series—ended with Yankee second baseman Bobby Richardson catching Willie McCovey's line drive with Willie Mays on second and Matty Alou on third; had the ball been hit a foot or so to either side, Richardson could not have caught it and San Francisco would have scored two runs and won the Series.
