THE MONSTER

 

Dick Raddatz was power-pitching reliever, and a former fireman of the year. His towering presence and 95-mile-per-hour fastball made him baseball's most dominant relief pitcher in the mid-1960s and earned him the unforgettable nickname of "The Monster" when he was with the Red Sox. He also pitched for Cleveland, but by the time the Indians sent him to the Cubs, he didn't have much left. He had lost the movement on his fastball, tried to become a finesse pitcher, and just couldn't do it. His ERA with the Cubs was 6.56. He pitched one season for them in '67, and was released before the season in 1968.
