Lyndall Dale “Lindy” McDaniel (Born in Hollis, OK on December 13, 1935-) is a retired right-handed relief pitcher who spent 21 seasons in Major League Baseball, having seen more than 3,500 regular season big league games, played alongside more 300 teammates, and played under eight different managers on five different teams from the 1950s through the 1970s. The St. Louis Cardinals signed McDaniel as an amateur free agent in 1955, and he would spend eight seasons (1955-1962) with the club, earning selection to both legs of the 1960 All-Star Game while placing third in Cy Young Award voting and fifth in MVP balloting, all thanks to his 12-4 record, 1.29 ERA, and 26 saves. Lindy spent three seasons (1963-1965) with the Chicago Cubs, earning his second of two The Sporting News Reliever of the Year Awards (1960, 1963), before playing for the San Francisco Giants (1966-1968) and New York Yankees (1968-1973), finally ending his career as a member of the Kansas City Royals (1974-1975). McDaniel led the league three times in his career: 1959 (15), 1960 (26), and 1963 (22). With the Yankees in 1970, McDaniel amassed a career high 29 saves, tying the franchise record set by Luis Arroyo in 1961, while also going 9-5 with a 2.01 ERA. The righty retired with a lifetime 141-119 record in 987 games, with a 3.45 ERA, 1,361 strikeouts, and 172 saves.
