1965 Topps #413 Hal Reniff
About Hal Reniff
The Yankees' run ended in 1965: a sixth-place finish and their first season below .500 since 1925. Reniff carried more of the load than ever to that point, 85.1 innings over 51 games, with 74 strikeouts, 48 walks, three saves and a 3.80 ERA. Topps placed him at #413 in the fifth series, a mid-set number.
Harold Eugene Reniff was a right-handed relief pitcher, born in Warren, Ohio, on July 2, 1938, who signed with the New York Yankees in 1956 out of Chaffey High School in Ontario, California. Five full years in the minors followed, the best of them a 21-7 record for Modesto of the Class C California League, before New York called him up from Richmond in June 1961. He debuted on June 8, went 2-0 with a 2.58 earned run average across 25 games, and collected a championship ring that October without appearing in the Series. Army duty and a sore shoulder wiped out nearly all of the next season, but he came back to hold the Yankee bullpen for four years. His best was 1963: 18 saves, sixth in the American League, and a 2.62 ERA over 48 games. He worked three scoreless innings in the 1963 World Series and a third of an inning in 1964, earning no decision and no save in either. New York sold him to the crosstown Mets in June 1967 and he finished there. Over 276 major-league games, every one in relief, he went 21-23 with 45 saves, 314 strikeouts and a 3.27 ERA. Five more seasons at Triple-A Syracuse followed; he retired after 1972 and died in Ontario, California, in 2004.
