The Unsung Yankee Who Saw History | New York Yankees News
Description
Tex Clevenger, the unsung Yankees pitcher who watched history unfold from the bullpen during Maris’s record-breaking 1961 and 1962 seasons, was a quiet force with a killer curveball and two college no-hitters. Though he never got his name in the spotlight, he was there—sharing dugouts, bus rides, and pressure with baseball’s titans. After his playing days, he built a successful life as a car dealer and was honored in the Fresno State Hall of Fame. His legacy, though fading from mainstream memory, reminds us that greatness isn’t just about the stars—it’s about the whole team, especially those who quietly carried the weight of history.
