Lindy McDaniel, a righthanded reliever who pitched for the Cubs from 1963-65, has passed away at age 84, per the Associated Press.
McDaniel pitched for the Cardinals, Cubs, Giants, Yankees and Royals in a 21-year career from 1955-75, and had his best years in St. Louis and New York.
He did have three fine years for the Cubs and led the National League in saves in 1963 with 22. He was also involved in two significant Cubs trades, both arriving and departing.
The Cubs acquired McDaniel from the Cardinals, along with Larry Jackson and Jimmie Schaffer, on October 17, 1962 in exchange for George Altman, Don Cardwell and Moe Thacker.
