Retirement Is Announced By Yankee Hurler OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. (INS) —Alli* Reynolds, star pitcher for the New York Yank***, had two reasons tor announcing his retirement from baseball. First of all, the 3<-year-old right hander who has been a Yankd* ace since 1947 said his physician advised hhn to quit because of hh bad back. And secondly, ‘Reynolds said, "I’d never do anything to cramp the Yankees' chances.” Reynolds announced his retirement in Oklahoma City Wednesday night and said It stemmed from a back injury he suffered in 1953. Since that time he has been bothered by recurrent pain. His physician, Reynolds continued, told him that there was a chance that major surgery would have to be performed on his back if he kept on playing. That probably was the most important reason for “The Chief' to state: "From a standpoint of years, 1 have lots of good pitching leftThere’s nothing wrong with my right arm. I can throw as hard as ever but I can'? risk permanent injury At rtiy age.” The Other reason for his retirement was his team spirit. Reynolds said it this way: • “I never bad any Intention of keeping ofi as anything less than a whole ball player and certainly I’d never do anything to cramp , thti YAiLkfiAft’ phnnppß M —- Reynolds, of Bethany. Okla., suffered his back injury in 1953 when a bus in which he was riding struck a viaduct in Philadelphia. He was out for six weeks that season. His retirement leaves a gaping hole in the Yankee pitching plans. New York Manager Casey Stengel had been counting on "The Chief” to help the Bombers to another pennant In 1955 after New York failed last season —for the first tune since 1949 —to win the American League flag. During his major league career Reynolds won 184 games and lost 1(17. His best year was m 1962 when he won 20 .and'lost eight with a 2.07 earned run average. Last season he won 13 out of 17 games.
