Former New York Yankees pitcher and ERA champion Rudy May passed away at the age of 80 on Saturday. May had a distinguished career in Major League Baseball, pitching for a total of 16 seasons with four different teams.
May began his MLB journey with the California Angels in 1965 at the young age of 20. Despite showing promise with a 3.92 ERA over 124 innings, injuries sidelined him until his return in 1969. He went on to play for the Angels until 1974, when he was traded to the New York Yankees mid-season.
