Worthington, a newspaper compositor, and his wife, Lake Worthington. After four daughters, the Worthingtons welcomed Allan Fulton Worthington into the world on February 5, 1929, in Birmingham. Walter worked for the Birmingham News for his last ten years and also pitched in one of the local amateur leagues. Al became a right-handed pitcher who worked 14 years in the major leagues. Over the course of his career, he hurled for both Chicago teams, both Sox teams, both the New York and San Francisco Giants, and \u2014 perhaps fittingly, given all those pairings \u2014 he finished his career with the Twins, pitching six seasons for Minnesota.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Al had two brothers who also played some ball. \u201cMy two older brothers signed professional baseball contracts, one with the Philadelphia Athletics and the other one was with the St. Louis Cardinals. One brother \u2014 Robert Oliver \u2014 came out of the Navy and he was 25 or 26. He was a little bit too old, but he played for a while with the Cardinals. He was the younger one. Walter played with the Athletics. In their farm system.\u201d Walter was a catcher who played in 1939 and 1940 in the Athletics chain, while Robert played three years as a catcher (1946-48) in the Cardinals system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Al attended Inglenook Elementary School, graduated from Phillips High School, and spent three years at the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa. At 6-feet-2 and 195 pounds, Worthington also played end on the Crimson Tide\u2019s football team, though \u201cBig Al\u201d was considered \u201clanky\u201d even for a pitcher in those days. He didn\u2019t play much football, and quit the team in his sophomore year after injuring his left arm and shoulder and finding that it was not healing quickly. At age 21, he married Shirley Reusse in December 1950.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNobody really wanted me in baseball. That was before they had agents. Dickey Martin worked for the railroad in Birmingham. I pitched against his local team. He called his friend [Nashville manager] Larry Gilbert. They gave me $1,500.\u201d Martin signed him in June 1951 and Worthington started his career pitching for the Southern Association\u2019s Nashville Volunteers. His record that first year was 7-10 (4.57 ERA), but he showed some real promise, throwing a two-hitter against Chattanooga in early September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Worthington struggled badly at the beginning of the 1952 season, still pitching for Nashville, now a Giants farm club. Manager Hugh Poland said he was \u201ctrying to throw too hard for his own good.\u201d He righted himself, however, and on August 24 threw a one-run, six-hit, 14-inning game against Little Rock. He finished the season 13-13 (3.54).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On April 1, 1953, Worthington\u2019s contract was sold outright to the Giants, though they asked him to begin the year with their Triple-A club in Minneapolis. He was 9-5 with a 2.90 ERA when he was brought up to the big leagues in early July \u2014 and pitched back-to-back 6-0 shutouts. On July 6 at the Polo Grounds, he threw a two-hitter against the Phillies and on the 11th pitched a four-hitter at Ebbets Field against the Dodgers. Manager Leo Durocher referred to him as \u201cthis kid pitcher.\u201d Worthington\u2019s consecutive shutouts in his first two appearances equaled a major-league record that only three other pitchers had achieved. Worthington was the first to achieve it in the National League since the modern era of baseball began. It was the only time all year that Brooklyn would be shut out; Worthington held them to four singles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eight days later Al proved he was \u201cnot Superman after all,\u201d suffering his first loss, giving up just two runs (one earned) to the Milwaukee Braves in a five-inning, darkness-shortened game. Then he lost his next seven decisions \u2014 all the way until September, when he won his final two games, giving up just one earned run over the two games on the 19th and 25th. The last loss was on September 10 and saw Worthington dole out 11 bases on balls to the St. Louis Cardinals. The two wins to close out the season left him 4-8 for the year, but with a decent 3.44 earned-run average, distinctly better than the fifth-place Giants\u2019 4.25 team ERA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1954 the Giants won the pennant. The team ERA dropped all the way to 3.09, with starter Johnny Antonelli (21-7, 2.30) and reliever Hoyt Wilhelm (12-4, 2.10) two standouts, while closer Marv Grissom\u2019s 2.35 ERA was superb as well. Worthington did not make the club out of spring training, but was brought up midway through the season and wound up 0-2 in ten games, working 18 innings, mostly in relief, from July 29 on. Worthington appeared on the postseason roster, but saw no action in the World Series; he got a one-third share of the World Series earnings. He also recalled, \u201cI had a real good seat for that Willie Mays catch! We beat Cleveland four in a row. I wouldn\u2019t have pitched anyway, but I had a great seat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Worthington spent all of 1955 back in the minors, with Minneapolis. He was 19-10 (3.58), and his three wins and one save were key in helping the Millers win the Junior World Series over Rochester. He played winter ball for Santurce in Puerto Rico, and was 9-2 for the pennant-winning team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1956 Worthington made the Giants out of spring training. He lost his first start for new Giants manager Bill Rigney, 3-2, despite giving up only two runs in seven innings. The Giants finished in sixth place, and to some extent Worthington\u2019s 7-14 record reflected the team\u2019s. His 3.97 ERA was not much above the team\u2019s 3.78, while the club finished a disappointing 67-87. He did lose a full month \u2014 almost all of August \u2014 due to a sore arm. He was never much of a batter (.137 career average and .165 on-base percentage in 293 plate appearances), but he helped win the September 30 game against the Phillies with two RBIs, one of them coming on his only major-league home run. In 602 big-league games (69 starts), he drove in 15 runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1957, with the New York Giants still a losing team (sixth place, 69-85), Worthington was 8-11 with a 4.22 ERA (team ERA was 4.01). While in 1956 he had started 24 of his 28 games, he was used more as a reliever in 1957, appearing in 55 games but starting only 12 of them. One of the starts was a complete-game 1-0 shutout of the Phils. Five days later, he worked the first ten innings of a 16-inning win, allowing just two runs and keeping the Giants in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Giants franchise left the Polo Grounds behind and moved to the West Coast for the 1958 season, playing at Seals Stadium their first season in San Francisco and finishing in third place, with Rigney still at the helm. Worthington had his best season to date, 11-7 (3.63), again with 12 starts, this time in 54 games. He was said to have an \u201celegant slider.\u201d It was good to have a versatile pitcher like Worthington \u2014 he could start, he could close (17 games finished, with six saves), and he could pitch in long relief (like the four innings of no-hit ball he threw against Cincinnati on June 7.) His sterling work didn\u2019t apply against the Milwaukee Braves, who kind of saw Worthington as their \u201ccousin\u201d \u2014 his record against them through the end of the 1958 season was 3-13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1959 Worthington signed after a prolonged (and ultimately successful) contract holdout. He was used in 42 games, but with only three starts \u2014 and they were his last three starts in the majors. He finished 15 games but for the most part worked middle relief. He threw 73\u2153 innings with a 3.68 ERA and a 2-3 won-loss record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Worthington had to fight for a spot on the Giants\u2019 staff during spring training in 1960, and he didn\u2019t make it. Instead, on March 29, he was traded to the Boston Red Sox for first baseman\/outfielder Jim Marshall. Red Sox pitching coach Sal Maglie knew Worthington well from their time together on the Giants. Maglie said he was \u201cpretty quick and had a good sinker. We plan to use him as a relief pitcher here. He has developed a good slider and curve to go with his fast sinker, and I believe he will help us.\u201d But Worthington spent most of the season (after five relief appearances in April and one in early May) in Triple-A with the Minneapolis Millers. He\u2019d been hit hard with Boston, to the tune of a 7.71 earned-run average. Larry Claflin of the Boston American wrote that he was becoming known as Al \u201cWorthless.\u201d Claflin asked manager Billy Jurges why he was using Worthington so often. \u201cI had to find out about him,\u201d Jurges said, and added after a grimace, \u201cI guess I found out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Minneapolis, Worthington started 11 games and relieved in 26 with an excellent 2.04 ERA (he was 11-9). On August 29 the Chicago White Sox announced the purchase of Worthington\u2019s contract from the Red Sox. On September 8, having just pitched 5\u2153 innings in four games, he left the team and went home. He\u2019d won one and lost one, and had given up two earned runs. He said, \u201cI\u2019m home and I\u2019d rather leave why I\u2019m here a personal matter,\u201d though he did indicate he might enroll at Howard College. It was later said that he left because \u201cthe club stole signals from the opposition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A nationally syndicated Jim Murray column provided more of the details. Worthington\u2019s objections were ascribed to his being \u201ca man of deep religious convictions.\u201d Worthington had followed evangelist Billy Graham since a 1958 faith meeting, and both Worthingtons were \u201cborn again\u201d during the Billy Graham Crusade. \u201cI\u2019d been going to church since I was six,\u201d he said, \u201cand I\u2019d always wanted to go to heaven, but I\u2019d never understood how.\u201d \u201cI do not want to do anything that would displease the Lord,\u201d he explained. Murray wrote that his biggest save was himself. Worthington was active in the Brotherhood of Christian Athletes. Worthington also said, \u201cAs a Christian, I couldn\u2019t throw a spitter, and never would. It\u2019s an illegal pitch.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He\u2019d left the ballclub on principle, and it wasn\u2019t the first time he\u2019d spoken up when he\u2019d seen or heard something he thought was wrong. In September 1959, with the Giants holding a slim lead over the Dodgers in the National League pennant race, he heard that the Giants were using a spy in the grandstand, armed with a pair of binoculars. He went to manager Bill Rigney. \u201cI told Bill that I had been talking to church groups, telling people you don\u2019t have to lie or cheat in this world if you trust Jesus Christ. How could I go on saying those things if I was winning games because my team was cheating?\u201d With the White Sox, manager Al Lopez would neither confirm nor deny the spying. Worthington told GM Hank Greenberg, \u201cI can\u2019t play for a team that\u2019s cheating.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Worthington wrote a newspaper column discussing his \u201cstage fright\u201d in becoming a closer in baseball, and how the pressure truly got to him. As it happened, Rev. Graham was holding a crusade in San Francisco. A few days, they went back again and this time he accepted Graham\u2019s challenge to \u201cbreak with the old ego-centered life.\u201d He wrote that he learned \u201cthe more I centered on Him, the less problem I had with my ego and with pressure.\u201d The inner tension he had always felt, which often caused him to tighten up, was something he could control through his faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Around 1961 or so, perhaps still troubled by the fact that he knew White Sox owner Bill Veeck condoned the cheating, Worthington was asked to complete a questionnaire for the Baseball Hall of Fame. Asked if he were to do it all over, would he play professional baseball again, he answered: \u201cMaybe not.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was a gratifying moment for the family that April, when Al\u2019s wife saved the life of 3-year-old Bruce Whitaker in Birmingham. She\u2019d heard screams from the boy\u2019s mother, found him lying in a drainage ditch, and applied artificial respiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Worthington continued pitching, and worked 1961 and 1962 in the White Sox system, in Triple-A both years, for San Diego (9-10, 3.55) and then Indianapolis (15-4, 2.94). \u201cWe tried to sell him,\u201d GM Greenberg admitted, \u201cbut the word was out that he was some sort of cuckoo.\u201d Though his record in San Diego may not seem that impressive, he did throw three consecutive shutouts in August, the third of which was a 5-0 no-hitter against Hawaii on the 26th. It was the first no-hitter in Padres history. Worthington walked four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Worthington\u2019s work with Indianapolis was good enough to attract interest. The Mets were expected to select him as their first choice in the minor-league (Rule 5) draft that fall. The October 9 New York Times and the Associated Press reported, apparently prematurely, his purchase by the Mets prior to the draft, but he wound up instead with the Cincinnati Reds. The Mets thought they might get him in the second round, but the Reds claimed him for the $25,000 draft price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Al had a strong 1963 season for Cincinnati, with an ERA of 2.99 over 50 appearances. He was 4-4 with ten saves; he finished 32 of the 50 games in which he appeared. It was almost as though he had been reborn as a pitcher. His teammates showed a good sense of humor. At a team party late in the season, Worthington\u2019s gift was a pair of binoculars. Beginning in 1963, Worthington worked six seasons in a row in which he finished with an ERA under 3.00. Those earned-run averages were \u2014 beginning in 1963 \u2014 2.99, 2.16, 2.13, 2.46, 2.84, and 2.32. It was quite a run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Worthington began 1964 with Cincinnati but appeared in only six games (seven innings) at the beginning of the year, giving up runs to the tune of a 10.29 ERA, and got himself sent down. His explanation: \u201cIt always takes me a while to get going in the spring.\u201d He found himself again with San Diego, then a Reds farm club, where he went 4-1 with a 3.18 ERA in ten games. Then the Minnesota Twins bought his contract on June 26 in a straight cash deal. Back in the majors once more, in the American League, Worthington pitched in 41 games for the Twins with a 1.37 ERA, not allowing even one earned run in his first 20 appearances. An AP story said that after 14 years of bouncing around he \u201cfinally has a steady job.\u201d He earned 14 saves. Twins catcher Earl Battey said he had one of the biggest assortments of pitches in the league: \u201cHe gives you that big motion and keeps the ball down and throws at the corners \u2026 an amazing pitcher.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recalling his best stuff in a 2014 interview, Worthington said, \u201cThe best pitches I had? My fastball slid and sink. It was a natural slider that also sunk. I didn\u2019t have a thing to do with that. Just put my hand on it. God gave me that. It just sunk. Then I had a curveball. Those were my two pitches.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 1965 Twins won 102 games under manager Sam Mele, and won the pennant with ease. Ten of those wins were Worthington\u2019s. Pitching exclusively in relief, he worked in 62 games (finishing 38) and his 2.13 ERA was the best on a very good staff. Worthington was credited with 21 saves. Fellow Twins reliever Johnny Klippstein must be noted, too, with a 9-3 record and a 2.24 ERA in 56 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The World Series against the Dodgers went the full seven games. The Twins took the first two but lost four of the next five games. Worthington worked only four innings, in part because Mudcat Grant and Jim Kaat both went the route in the first two games, and Grant pitched another complete game in Game Six. Worthington threw two innings in Game Four and two in Game Seven. Though he wasn\u2019t charged with an earned run, he gave up singles to each of the first two batters he faced in Game Four and his own throwing error allowed one of the three runs that scored on his watch. Worthington got two votes (of 24 cast) for UPI\u2019s Comeback Player of the Year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Twins finished in second place in 1966, but nine games behind the Orioles. Worthington pitched in 65 games with a 2.46 ERA (and a 6-3 record). He was the team\u2019s principal reliever, most often the closer, from 1966 through 1968, and in 1968 led the league in saves with 18. He had losing records in 1967 (8-9) and 1968 (4-5) but excellent ERAs, as we have seen. In 1967 the Twins lost the pennant to the Red Sox in the final game of the regular season. Worthington came into the game in relief of starter (and 20-game winner) Dean Chance in the sixth irnning with three runs already across the plate and two men on. He threw two wild pitches, allowing another run to score and putting the Red Sox up 4-2. A fifth run scored on an error by first baseman Harmon Killebrew. Both inherited runners had scored, but without a base hit. The Twins lost, 5-3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the 1968 season, Worthington retired from the game. In May 1969, more than a month into the season, he decided to come out of retirement for one more year. \u201cBilly Martin got a sportswriter to call me. He asked me to come back,\u201d Worthington said. He added, \u201cIt was very nice to be wanted. It wasn\u2019t easy. It took me a while to get back in shape.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This time it was his final year \u2014 1969. He made his first appearance June 8. He went 4-1 in 46 games, with a 4.57 ERA in the year he turned 40. The Twins made it to the postseason again that year. There were now league playoffs to win the pennant and the Twins played the Orioles in the best-of-five American League Championship Series. The O\u2019s swept. Worthington appeared in just the third game. With the score Orioles 5, Twins 1, he pitched a 1-2-3 fourth inning but after retiring Jim Palmer in the fifth, gave up a double and two singles, and manager Billy Martin replaced him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Worthington concluded his time in the majors with a career 3.39 ERA and 110 saves.<br>In 1970 and 1971, he worked \u201ctrying to sell life insurance \u2014 but I\u2019m a Christian and when I got a call that someone was sick in a school somewhere, I had to go. So I didn\u2019t do very good selling life insurance.\u201d There was another call on his services. \u201cYes, it was. It was the biggest call.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Worthington was the major-league pitching coach for Minnesota in both 1972 and 1973. He made the New York Times at one point in August 1973, when \u2014 in what might seem a reversal of roles \u2014 umpire Frank Umont apologized to him for the umpire\u2019s abusive language. Worthington thought that Umont was missing pitches and told him to \u201cbear down,\u201d upon which Umont \u201ccame over to the dugout and started calling me every name in the book.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In August 1973 Worthington announced he would take the position of head baseball coach (and, later, athletic director) at Lynchburg Baptist College (now Liberty University) in Lynchburg, Virginia, the university founded by Rev. Jerry Falwell. Bobby Richardson took over as baseball coach for him. Worthington retired in December 1989. Liberty\u2019s record under him was 343-189-1. Among the players he coached were four all-Americans, including future major leaguers Sid Bream and Lee Guetterman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After retirement, \u201cI came home [to Birmingham].\u201d We have a Christian school called Briarwood. It\u2019s a big school. I became their pitching coach for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Al and Shirley had five children \u2014 three boys and two girls. Shirley passed in 2024. His oldest son played at Alabama. He was a pretty good player, but not good enough to attract attention from scouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2010 Worthington was inducted into the Liberty University Athletics Hall of Fame.
