Jay Ritchie Autographs
Jay Seay Ritchie (November 20, 1936 – January 5, 2016) was an American professional baseball right-handed pitcher, who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Boston Red Sox, Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds from 1964 to 1968.
Ritchie attended Granite Quarry High School in Granite Quarry, North Carolina where he starred in baseball and basketball. His combined pitching record his junior and senior years was 24–0 and upon graduation he was also the county's all-time basketball scoring leader.
The lanky Ritchie stood 6 feet (1.8 m) tall and weighed 175 pounds (79 kg). He was originally signed by the Red Sox as an amateur free agent in 1955. He was in his ninth season in Boston's farm system when he made his big league debut with the Red Sox on August 4, 1964, in a road game against the Minnesota Twins. Entering the game in relief of Bill Monbouquette, the first batter Ritchie faced was Baseball Hall of Fame slugger Harmon Killebrew, who singled. In four innings pitched that game, Ritchie allowed two hits and three walks, but did not allow an earned run in the 12–4 loss.
