Hal Raether
Harold Herman Raether, nicknamed "Bud", is an American former Major League Baseball relief pitcher. He appeared in only two games in MLB, one for the Philadelphia Athletics, and one for the Kansas City Athletics three years later, after the franchise moved to Kansas City, Missouri. Raether threw and batted right-handed, stood tall and weighed.
Raether played at the collegiate level at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His pro career began in 1954 and lasted for four seasons. In the majors, he allowed three earned runs and three hits in four full innings pitched; he issued four bases on balls and did not record a strikeout. One of the hits he surrendered was a home run, hit by eventual Baseball Hall of Famer George Kell on May 19, 1957.
