1973: David Clyde made his pitching debut

Thursday, June 27, 2019 1:09

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

On this day in 1973, the Rangers were desperately trying to sell seats.

They were 54-100 in 1972. The best player was an aging Frank Howard. The roster included young guys like future AL MVP Jeff Burroughs and All Star Toby Harrah but they were not exciting anybody in North Texas.

Enter David Clyde, a high school star from Houston.

The good news is that David Clyde was a great high school baseball prospect. The bad news is that he was rushed to the majors years ago. He sold out his first game but not much happened after that!

Clyde never developed into the major league pitcher that everyone predicted. At the same time, he should have spent a couple of years in the minors before pitching in the majors. He wasn’t ready and it probably hurt his career.

He won 7 over a 2-year period. He was eventually traded to Cleveland. By the way, I saw him pitch with Cleveland against Baltimore in 1978 or 1979.

Overall, a sad story.
