Biographical Information[edit]

Ron Mahay appeared briefly with the Boston Red Sox in 1995 as a center fielder. When he returned to the team in 1997 it was as a relief pitcher making him one of the rare players in baseball history to legitimately play as a pitcher and position player (Babe Ruth, Brooks Kieschnick and Johnny Lindell were others before him). After that, he was a journeyman relief pitcher for 14 seasons and very rarely had a chance to bat in a game: of his 28 career at-bats, 20 came in his only season as an outfielder. He was the last of the 1995 strike replacement players to play in the majors.

He was originally signed by scout Buzz Bowers.
