Lyndall Dale McDaniel, known as Lindy (born December 13, 1935) is a right-handed former relief pitcher in Major League Baseball who had a 21-year career from 1955 to 1975. During McDaniel's career he witnessed approximately 3,500 major league games (not including spring training), had more than 300 teammates, and played under eight different managers. An alumnus of the University of Oklahoma, he played with the St. Louis Cardinals, Chicago Cubs, and San Francisco Giants, all of the National League, and the New York Yankees and Kansas City Royals, both of the American League. ==Baseball career== McDaniel was named to the National League All-Star team in 1960. He led the league in saves in 1959 (15), 1960 (26), and 1963 (22). He was named as the The Sporting News Reliever of the Year for the National League in 1960 (the award's inaugural year) as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals, and in 1963 as a member of the Chicago Cubs. With the New York Yankees in 1970, McDaniel amassed a career high 29 saves, tying the franchise record set by Luis Arroyo in 1961. "A number of factors have contributed to my longevity," McDaniel reports. "Freedom from serious injury, an easy pitching delivery, clean living and good conditioning, a high motivation level, a strong belief in God—especially during times of adversity—the opportunity to pitch and self-discipline." His brother Von was also a major league pitcher. His other brother, Kerry, played in the minor leagues. A member of the Church of Christ, McDaniel also wrote a monthly newsletter entitled ''Pitching for the Master'', published from his church in Baytown, Texas. It was distributed to his fellow church members as well as all the other Major League Baseball players and their families during his playing career. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lindy McDaniel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
