Timeline

1951

Donald Edward Gullett (January 6, 1951 – February 14, 2024) was an American professional baseball player and coach.

1969

The Reds selected Gullett in the first round of the 1969 Major League Baseball draft.

He pitched for the Sioux Falls Packers of the Northern League that season.

1970

He played in Major League Baseball as a left-handed pitcher from 1970 through 1978.

He was a member of the Cincinnati Reds Big Red Machine dynasty that won four National League pennants and two World Series championships between 1970 and 1976.

In 1970, Gullett impressed the Reds in spring training.

Despite his inexperience, he made the big league roster of a team that would go on to win the NL pennant.

Pitching in relief of starter Ray Washburn, Gullett debuted on April 10, 1970, on the road against the San Francisco Giants.

In his rookie season, Gullett appeared in 44 games (42 in relief) posting a 5–2 record and a 2.43 earned run average.

In the 1970 World Series against the Baltimore Orioles, Gullett pitched 6 2⁄3 innings and allowed just one earned run (1.35 earned run average) as he and veteran Clay Carroll helped keep an injury-riddled pitching staff competitive in the series.

Playing for only nine seasons, Gullett was a member of six World Series teams (1970, '72, '75, '76, '77, and '78), including four consecutive world champions ('75 and '76 Reds, and '77 and '78 Yankees).

1972

During the 1972 season Gullett suffered from hepatitis.

That season turned out to be the only one in which he had a losing record.

Gullett also surrendered Hank Aaron's 660th home run on August 6, 1972.

1973

Gullett was the pitcher when Willie Mays hit the 660th and last home run of his Major League Baseball career on August 17, 1973.

1974

He went 6–1 with a 1.83 ERA and 42 strikeouts in 54 innings pitched in July 1974, winning the National League Player of the Month Award.

1975

In a 1975 National League Championship Series game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, Gullett pitched a complete game and hit a single and home run, collecting three runs batted in.

Hall of Fame Manager Sparky Anderson predicted that Gullett would one day enter the Hall of Fame.

1976

As noted in the Gullett's biography in the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR): "The three best southpaws of the previous generation—Warren Spahn, Whitey Ford, and Sandy Koufax—were in the Hall of Fame. When Gullett celebrated his 25th birthday in 1976 he had already won 91 games—many more than Spahn (8), Ford (43), and Koufax (53) had won by that age."

Following the 1976 season, Gullett became a free agent and signed with the New York Yankees, the month after his Reds had swept them in the World Series.

His fourth start with New York came on a rainy day at Memorial Stadium in Baltimore on April 25.

During the fourth inning, Gullett slipped and fell on the wet pitching mound, spraining his ankle and straining a muscle in his neck.

The injury required him to wear a neck brace and miss some starts.

In his return on May 7, he struck out 10 and threw 154 pitches in a complete game, 11–2 victory over the Oakland Athletics.

1977

Gullett was also a member of the New York Yankees teams that won two consecutive World Series championships in 1977 and 1978.

He had a 14–4 season with the Yankees in 1977.

1978

Shoulder surgery to repair a double tear of his rotator cuff in 1978 signaled the end of Gullett's career at age 27.

He was injured during the 1978 World Series and left off the Yankees roster.

1980

He was released by the Yankees after the 1980 season.

During a nine-year career, Gullett accumulated 109 wins and posted a 3.11 earned run average and tallied 921 strikeouts.

1989

In 1989, Gullett played for the St. Lucie Legends of the Senior Professional Baseball Association.

1993

After his playing career, Gullett served as pitching coach for the Reds from 1993 to 2005.

2002

In 2002, he was inducted into the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame.

Gullett was born in Lynn, Kentucky, and attended McKell High School in South Shore, Kentucky, where he was an outstanding three-sports athlete in baseball, football, and basketball.

He began to pitch while in eighth grade.

As a high school pitcher, he once tossed a perfect game—including striking out 20 of the 21 hitters he faced.

Gullett excelled as a high school football player as well, once scoring 72 points in a single game.

He ran for 11 touchdowns and kicked 6 extra points.

He was named all-state in three sports his senior year (baseball, football, basketball).
