Mark Johnson: Facebook & Twitter Trent Magill: Facebook & Twitter Katie McGraw: Facebook & Twitter Phil Sakal: Facebook & Twitter The juggernaut Orioles began a 17-game winning streak the next day; their only other loss in 1970 would be Game Four of the World Series Rittwage would never again win a major-league game A sandlot phenom from the Cleveland suburbs Rittwage turned down better offers to sign with his hometown team out of high school and spent seven seasons working his way to the big leagues but his stay was brief – eight games that September He never made it back to the majors and retired before his 30th birthday James Michael Rittwage was born October 23, 1945,1 in Cleveland and grew up in nearby Bedford Heights. His father, William (1914-1990) worked as an electrician; his mother Ethel, née Busch (1923-2008) was a homemaker. Jim was the oldest of five children: Jack, Noreen, William, and Dale arrived between 1946 and 1954. Besides playing baseball, Rittwage spent his youth hunting, fishing, and working on cars.2 Rittwage excelled at Bedford High, clinching the Greater Cleveland Conference in his junior year with a two-hitter to beat Garfield Heights 2-1, as well as headlining the local sandlots on the “Go” team in the National Amateur Baseball junior division3, managed by his father William.4 Flick spent a lot of time getting to know the local flamethrower “I’ve been watching him for several years,” Flick said after Rittwage signed. “Believe me, he’s a pitcher – not just a thrower. This kid will make it.” Despite competition from eight other clubs, Cleveland scout Paul O’Dea signed Rittwage in November 1963.6 The prospect forged a relationship with Flick that lasted throughout his career “Well, I had to pick him up and take him to the ballgames,” Rittwage recalled with fondness. “He’d ask me how many miles did we go today? You know, this went on for maybe two, three weeks. And I said Elmer, let me ask you a question: Why do you keep asking me how many miles I have on my car. He just said, ‘I get a nickel a mile.’”7 Rittwage made the team, prompting legendary Cleveland sportswriter Hal Lebovitz to write, “Rittwage is still with the Indians and there is an excellent chance he’ll remain with the varsity all year. If he’s sent out there’s a danger all of Bedford will picket the stadium.”11 he was exposed to waivers and claimed by the Kansas City Athletics As Rittwage was claimed by Kansas City, Cleveland selected 18-year-old outfielder Joe Rudi on waivers from Kansas City In what was apparently an agreed-upon maneuver both players would spend the required one season in the minor-league system with their new team before they were traded back to their original clubs in December The tactic was certainly to circumvent the rules but the commissioner and other teams didn’t protest Rudi would make a large impact with the Athletics when they moved to Oakland in 1968 and finishing runner-up in MVP voting twice Rittwage began the season in the rotation but spent the bulk of the summer in the bullpen, making eight starts against 24 relief appearances. He led the league with 18 wild pitches but threw three complete games, including a 10-inning four-hitter in Lynchburg, Virginia, for his final victory of 1965.14 After the season, Cleveland and Kansas City swapped Rittwage back for Rudi, this time along with veteran outfielder Jim Landis heading to Cleveland and young catcher Phil Roof joining Rudi in Kansas City “Maybe they did me a favor,” Rittwage said after the season. “If I’d stayed with the Indians, I probably would have spent the season on the bench, like Mike Hedlund did, instead of getting pitching experience in the minors like I know I need.”15 Hedlund made just six appearances in his age-18 season and didn’t stick in the majors until 1969 with the expansion Kansas City Royals Cleveland Plain Dealer beat writer Russell Schneider considered the trade “retribution – or even collusion” – i.e., when the trade of Landis for Roof “was cooked up, it was a perfect opportunity for a ‘throw in,’ and to square matters by re-exchanging Rittwage for Rudi.” Now each player could be returned to the minor leagues without limitation, and Rittwage would spend the next five seasons stalled in the minors.16 The Indians of the early ’60s were generally not a successful lot, finishing no better than fifth from 1961 through 1967. The 1966 iteration raised eyebrows by racing out to a 10-0 start. During the streak, the varsity club played an exhibition against Pawtucket, which they lost 1-0. Rittwage pitched one inning in the game.18 They would sink back to their accustomed level by season’s end Rittwage won his first game with a two-hit, 12-strikeout shutout. As late as mid-July, he led the Eastern League in strikeouts, and would finish with 103 in 127 innings, with a 4-9 record and 4.11 ERA. He lost two months to arm trouble in midseason.19 “They should play me or trade me,” Rittwage recalled years later, referring to his late ’60s stint with the organization.25 In the years before Marvin Miller ushered in free agency with players bound to teams in perpetuity with the reserve clause and without rules limiting the number of times a player could be optioned to the minor leagues even the most powerful players were largely thwarted The short-lived Seattle Pilots, co-owned by William Daley, who had been the primary Cleveland owner when Rittwage signed in 1964, were never on solid footing and already halfway out the door to Milwaukee in the 1969-70 offseason. Seattle purchased Rittwage in October for their Pacific Coast League affiliate in Vancouver, British Columbia. If he made the team in the spring, Seattle would pay Cleveland $25,000. Otherwise, he would be returned to Cleveland.26 It didn’t work out, and Rittwage was back in Tucson in 1970. “They (the Pilots) told me they couldn’t afford me,” he said upon his return. “We’re glad to get him back,” added Cleveland Vice President Hank Peters, the man who had selected Rittwage for Kansas City in 1965.27 Flashing a “new approach to pitching” and “the best stuff in camp,” Rittwage allowed only one run in 12 exhibition innings. He began the season with the Wichita (Kansas) Aeros in the Triple-A American Association.28 “Rittwage’s only problem is that he pitches every game like the World Series,” Aeros manager Ken Aspromonte said in May. “He just has to learn to relax.”29 Rittwage split his time between the rotation and bullpen until an unusual opportunity knocked In a late June matchup with the Denver Bears, he pitched seven innings but fractured a bone in his left leg while sliding into second base.30 It was a hairline fracture, and he missed only a few weeks, but was summoned to Cleveland in August for a closer look at his leg.31 While the Indians doctor examined Rittwage and he threw on the sideline at Cleveland’s Municipal Stadium, manager Alvin Dark took an interest. The hurler was soon called up; he was finally getting the call to “The Show.”32 “I was excited as hell,” Rittwage remembered years later. “I mean, it was wonderful. And I remember walking into the clubhouse… some of them go, ‘Welcome to the big leagues.’ I go, ‘I heard you guys were in trouble. I’m here to help.’”33 He made his debut on Monday, September 7, in a sparsely attended doubleheader in Cleveland. Entering in the eighth inning, trailing 3-1, Rittwage’s first batter was future Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski who singled and came around to score on a fielder’s choice He walked the bases loaded before Dark replaced him “I was shaking like a leaf,” he said after the game. “My knees were knocking so much I couldn’t hold still. I was afraid everybody could see it, that’s how nervous I was.” Dark had heard good things about the local boy’s right arm and figured it was time to see what he had. “I want to make sure we don’t commit a mistake on Rittwage when we make up our 40-man roster before next winter’s player draft,” he said.34 He was sharp in his next relief appearance striking out four Senators in two shutout innings Rittwage made three more short relief appearances at the Stadium before Dark gave him his big chance – a crack at the 97-win Orioles The Orioles had clinched a few days prior and led the Yankees by 13½ games in the American League East On Saturday night, September 19, Rittwage and McNally traded zeroes for two innings before Baltimore scored in the third. Rittwage recovered to strike out the side in the fourth and Cleveland pounced for three runs in the top of the fifth. The rally started with a leadoff single by Rittwage, who scored on a single before Vada Pinson hit a two-run home run and retired 14 straight Orioles until two out in the bottom of the seventh He collected his second hit of the game with a single in the top of the sixth Cleveland added to its lead with an unearned run in the eighth; Rittwage’s grounder was muffed by third baseman Chico Salmon (giving Brooks Robinson a day off), scoring Chuck Hinton and giving Rittwage a 4-1 lead in the bottom of the ninth Brooks Robinson was then summoned from the bench but Rittwage struck him out – his seventh K of the night – to preserve the victory How did he pitch so well against Baltimore? Contemporary news reports didn’t include any quotes from the rookie, but over 50 years later, Rittwage recalled his lone victory: “Well, we just did our job. I didn’t do anything special. I just went about my business. And when I was feeling good, I would throw the ball harder, and Baltimore pumped me up. I was blowing the ball by everybody. That’s how pumped I used to get.”35 A five-run rally in the ninth saved Rittwage from his first loss He got one more start in the penultimate game of the season in Detroit This time a ninth-inning rally wasn’t enough He walked five in five innings and lost 4-3 With high hopes of making the team in 1971, he posted a 7.71 ERA in spring training and was sent back to Wichita. “I feel terrible, but I feel worse for my wife, Bonnie,” he lamented to the Plain Dealer. “I know Bonnie will ask me to quit and, in a way, I can’t blame her. I’ve played so many years without making it. It’s easy to get discouraged.”37 The organization still appeared to believe in Rittwage’s potential but he was not consistent enough to get another look in Cleveland Aspromonte still raved about his stuff: “Rittwage’s fastball is alive Nobody in baseball has better stuff than Jim Rittwage.” Rittwage explained his struggles in terms of anxiety: “I can’t stand to stay in one spot longer than a few seconds I can throw nine innings one day and then feel like pitching the next I’m too strong the first four or five innings As for his performance in Tucson, he said, “I was trying too hard. I wasn’t missing the plate by a foot. I was throwing the ball against the backstop or 10 feet in front of the plate”.38 Rittwage hit his first two professional home runs in the 1971 season but finished with an undistinguished 5.73 ERA including almost as many walks (50) as strikeouts (54) in 88 innings At this point, Rittwage wanted out of Cleveland. “I will be very disappointed if some other club does not pick me up in the (minor league) draft,” he said in November.39 Come 1972 “I threw a fastball, and I went ‘bing’ and my arm just quivered. And that’s when I popped the ulnar nerve,” Rittwage recalled about the moment when he blew out his arm.42 Rittwage walked away from baseball when he was sent down the next spring. “I owe it to my family to think about another way to make a living,” he said to the Plain Dealer.43 He kept loose by throwing batting practice at his alma mater and returned to Cleveland’s Triple-A affiliate in Oklahoma City by mid-season Rittwage pitched primarily in relief in his final two minor-league seasons in Cleveland and then was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals in December 1973 for journeyman pitcher Denny O’Toole. St. Louis sold his contract to a Mexican team after another season in the minors, but Rittwage decided to retire.44 Rittwage at first sold life insurance and got his real estate license He then became an owner and operator of a pair of men’s clothing stores in nearby Solon and Twinsburg with a partner He still lived in Bedford Heights as of 2024 as he approached his 80th birthday who provided his memories in a telephone interview with the author The author would also like to extend his appreciation to his father for their assistance with background information as well as helping to make a connection with Jim Rittwage This biography was reviewed by Rory Costello and David Bilmes and checked for accuracy by SABR’s fact-checking team the author relied primarily on clippings from Rittwage’s file at the National Baseball Hall of Fame Library in Cooperstown Also helpful were Ancestry.com;
