Phil Hennigan
Phillip Winston Hennigan (April 10, 1946 – June 17, 2016) was an American professional baseball right-handed pitcher who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1969 to 1973 with the Cleveland Indians and New York Mets.
Hennigan was born in Jasper, Texas. He attended Jasper High School in Jasper, and then Sam Houston State University. Hennigan served in the United States Army and deployed as an artilleryman in the Vietnam War, where he received a medal for bravery.[citation needed] He returned in January 1968.
Drafted by the Cleveland Indians in the fourth round of the 1966 draft, Hennigan began his professional career that same year. Pitching for the Reno Silver Sox, Hennigan went 3–8 with a 4.03 ERA and 82 strikeouts in 96 innings of work.
He missed all of the 1967 campaign due to military service.
In 1968, he pitched for Reno again, going 5–7 with a 3.26 ERA in 80 innings, striking out 76 batters and walking 32.
In 1969, he mostly pitched for the Waterbury Indians although he saw a few games in the majors. With the Waterbury Indians, he went 10–10 with a 3.39 ERA and 114 strikeouts in 154 innings of work.
He made his Major League Baseball debut on September 2 of that year, pitching a third of an inning against the Minnesota Twins. The single batter he faced in that game (and the first batter he ever faced in the majors) was Hall of Famer Rod Carew, who flew out to center. Overall, he went 2–1 with a 3.31 ERA in nine relief appearances in his rookie season.
Hennigan made 41 relief appearances and one start for the Indians in 1970, going 6–3 with a 4.02 ERA, 43 strikeouts and 44 walks in 712⁄3 innings of work. He spent seven games with the Wichita Aeros that year as well, going 2–2 with an 8.00 ERA in 27 innings of work.
