Tex Clevenger pitched in the American League from 1954 to
1962, mostly in relief, for the Red Sox, Senators, Angels, and Yankees. He was
from California (and still lives there) and never lived in Texas; he was called
Tex because a teammate thought he looked like a former player named Tex. His
given name is Truman.
Tex led American League pitchers in appearances in 1958,
with 55, and led them in intentional walks in 1960, with ten. He had good
success against Larry Doby, who had two singles in 15 at-bats against him;
Elston Howard, 2 for 23; Gene Woodling, two triples in 19 at-bats; and Bob
Nieman, two singles and six strikeouts in 23 at-bats. Tex may be best
remembered for breaking Billy Martin’s jaw with a pitch in 1959.
