Dick Radatz
Richard Raymond Radatz (April 2, 1937 – March 16, 2005) was an American relief pitcher in Major League Baseball. Nicknamed "The Monster," the , right-hander had a scorching but short-lived period of dominance for the Boston Red Sox in the early sixties. He got his nickname by striking out several New York Yankees in a row at a game in Fenway Park in 1963. Mickey Mantle, who had a tough time facing Radatz, was heard calling him “that monster,” and the name stuck.
==Early years==
Born in Detroit, Michigan, Radatz attended Berkley High School. He was a star basketball and baseball player at Michigan State University before signing with the Red Sox as an amateur free agent in 1959.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Spartan Baseball To Honor 1971 Team, Dick Radatz )〕 Originally a starting pitcher when he began his professional career, Radatz compiled a 16-10 record and 3.48 earned run average in his first two seasons in the Red Sox farm system.
A sore arm led Seattle Rainiers manager Johnny Pesky to convert him into a reliever in 1961 against Radatz's will. The experiment worked, as Radatz earned a job out of spring training the following season as a non-roster invitee.
