Timeline

1948

George Francis "Doc" Medich (born December 9, 1948) is an American former professional baseball player who pitched in the Major Leagues from 1972 to 1982.

He was a medical student at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, and acquired the nickname "Doc" during his early baseball career.

While in college, Medich (of Serbian descent) pitched for the Pitt baseball team and played tight end on the Pittsburgh Panthers football team.

1970

Medich was drafted by the New York Yankees in the 30th round of the 1970 Major League Baseball draft, and spent three seasons as a starting pitcher in their farm system, going 21-13 over that span with a 2.27 ERA.

Medich entered the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine in 1970 where he obtained his MD degree in 1977.

Twice during his baseball career, Medich went into the stands during a game to aid a fan who was suffering a heart attack.

1972

Medich received a call to the majors in September 1972, facing four batters in his major league debut, giving up two singles and two walks.

1973

From there, Medich improved substantially, as he went 14-9 with a 2.95 ERA in 1973 to finish third in American League Rookie of the Year balloting.

He was also the last Yankee winning pitcher at the original Yankee Stadium, pitching a shutout on September 29, 1973 against the Detroit Tigers.

1974

In 1974, Medich won a career high 19 games for the Yankees, tied with teammate Pat Dobson for most wins on the team.

1975

Following a 1975 season in which he went 16-16 with a 3.50 ERA, the Yankees sent Medich to the Pittsburgh Pirates for Willie Randolph, Dock Ellis and Ken Brett on December 11, 1975.

Medich spent just one injury plagued season with his hometown Pirates, going 8-11 with a 3.52 ERA.

1976

In 1976 in Philadelphia, he performed CPR and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on a fan who died later that day.

1977

During spring training in 1977, he was traded to the Oakland Athletics with Tony Armas, Doug Bair, Dave Giusti, Rick Langford and Mitchell Page for Chris Batton, Phil Garner and Tommy Helms.

Medich was unhappy with his trade as he was a student at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, and wished to remain near the school.

He threatened to retire, but later joined the A's, and went 10-6 with a 4.69 ERA.

As he was slated to become a free agent at the end of the season, A's owner Charlie Finley attempted to sign Medich to an extension.

Unsuccessful, he sold Medich's contract to the expansion Seattle Mariners in September.

He was 2-0 with a 3.63 ERA in three starts for the Mariners before being placed on waivers, and selected by the New York Mets.

He made one start for the Mets, losing to the Pirates.

On August 27, Rickey Henderson broke Lou Brock's record for most stolen bases in one season against the Brewers with Medich on the mound.

Medich reached the post-season for the only time in his career as a member of the Brewers.

His only post-season appearance came in game six of the 1982 World Series.
