Harry Fanok
Harry Michael Fanok III (born May 11, 1940, at Whippany in Hanover Township, New Jersey) is a retired American professional baseball player, a right-handed pitcher who was nicknamed "The Flame Thrower" for his blazing fastball. Fanok made 16 appearances, all in relief, for the 1963–64 St. Louis Cardinals of Major League Baseball, but he sustained a career-shortening injury to his throwing arm in August 1963 while pitching for the Triple-A Atlanta Crackers.
The , Fanok signed with St. Louis in 1959 after attending what is now the Morristown-Beard School and Hanover Park High School, where he was a baseball standout. After four seasons in minor league baseball, originally as a third baseman before converting to pitching, he began the 1963 season as a member of the MLB Cardinals' pitching staff. He stayed with them for almost two months and 12 games played, fashioning a 2–1 record and recording one save, with 25 strikeouts in 25 innings pitched.
But Fanok allowed 21 bases on balls and 24 hits, and was told to change his customary three-quarters throwing motion to a straight overhand delivery by Cardinal manager Johnny Keane. Sent back to Triple-A Atlanta to find his rhythm, Fanok pitched well — striking out 146 batters in 127 innings — but suffered his arm injury late in the season. He would make only four more appearances in the Majors, for the 1964 Cardinals, and he retired from baseball after the 1967 campaign.
All told, Fanok struck out 35 batters in 33 major league innings, allowing 29 hits and 24 walks. He returned to New Jersey after his playing days but eventually settled in Chardon, Ohio.〔
