About Gary Gentry
Gentry went 4-6 with a 3.43 ERA for Atlanta in 1973, making 14 starts. After surgery to remove bone chips from his elbow, he returned on April 30, 1974, with an inning of relief. He pitched in three games that season, totaling 6 2/3 innings, before undergoing tendon surgery. His Braves card for 1974 is #415.
Gary Gentry was a right-handed pitcher born October 6, 1946, in Phoenix, Arizona. A second baseman at Camelback High School, he did not pitch until Phoenix Junior College, which he led to a national junior college championship before moving on to Arizona State. There he went 17-1 as a junior with 229 strikeouts in 174 innings. He threw a 14-inning, 15-strikeout College World Series semifinal against Stanford and scored the winning run himself, and he was named All-American and National College Player of the Year as Arizona State took the 1967 title. Houston, Baltimore and San Francisco all drafted him without signing him; the New York Mets landed him four days after that championship. Over seven seasons with the Mets and Braves he made 138 starts and went 46-49 with a 3.56 ERA. He struck out 615 batters, with 25 complete games and eight shutouts. Arm injuries ended his career in 1975, and he went home to Phoenix and into real estate.
