Ray Narleski

Raymond Edmond Narleski (November 25, 1928 – March 29, 2012) was a right-handed relief pitcher who played in Major League Baseball with the Cleveland Indians (1954–58) and Detroit Tigers (1959). Born in Camden, New Jersey, he attended Collingswood High School, where he earned third-team All-State pitching honors in 1947 and was known for a fastball approaching 100 miles per hour. His father, Bill Narleski, played two seasons for the Boston Red Sox (1929–30), and credited him with the advice to never give in to a hitter.
