1989 Topps

Ulises (Pizarro) Sierra (born March 27, 1967, in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico) was a Major League Baseball right-handed pitcher.

Signed by the San Diego Padres as an amateur free agent in 1983, Sierra would make his Major League Baseball debut with the San Diego Padres on April 6, 1988, and appear in his final game on June 10, 1988.

Sierra was notable for his role as a replacement player during Spring Training prior to the 1995 season. Replacement players took over for professional baseball players when the Major League Baseball Players Association went on strike. The strike was resolved at the end of Spring Training. Sierra would not return to Major League Baseball after the strike was resolved, and was blacklisted and not permitted membership in the Major League Baseball Players Association.

[RedsBaron]

While perhaps not the most "unmentioned" Reds ever, I have been struck by how forgotten most members of the 1940 World Champion Reds are. They were once the toast of Cincinnati, but how well are most of them remembered now? In 2000, the Reds celebrated the 25th anniversary of the 1975 World Champions and the 10th anniversary of the 1990 World Champions, but made no mention of 2000 also being the 60th anniversary of the first Reds team to win an untainted World Series.
I assumed that all of the players on the 1940 team were now deceased. I knew that some of the better known stars of that team, including Ernie Lombardi, Bucky Walters, Frank McCormick and Paul Derringer (the first three were all NL MVPs) were dead.
When I looked up the 1940 team on Baseball-Reference.com, I was surprised to see that it listed Reds infielders Lonny Frey and Billy Werber as still being alive, ages 96 and 98 respectively. Frey was a three time all star second baseman and lead the NL in stolen bases in 1940. Werber, a third baseman, lead the NL in runs scored in 1939 and would lead the AL in stolen bases three times before joining the Reds.
Junior Thompson won 16 games for the Reds in 1940; this forgotten pitcher died last year.

Is he still in good health? I still think it would have been appropriate for the Reds to have recognized the 60th anniversary of the World Championship in 2000, even if the few surviving players were too infirm to attend ceremonies.

I think he is still in reasonably good health. There was an article about him, recently, in the Charlotte Observer. I would love to meet him, and hear some stories about those teams he played on and its players. Deacon Bill, Derringer, Bucky Walters, Ernie "the Schnozz," McCormick, Myers, Goodman, Vander Meer. Those would have to be some great stories.

[redsmetz]

In researching this I was going to say Don Werner and then saw Santo Alcala too and thought there's a forgotten battery.

Don Werner would still get my vote, but I was surprised to see Alcala only played two seasons in all and that we traded him to Montreal for Shane Rawley and Angel Torres. Rawley spent one season in the Reds minors before we traded him to Seattle for Dave Collins. I didn't know that.

Yes A ball and not AAA. HOw could I forget that. I was excited about a 40 homerun guy playing for the Reds. If I remember right he had a pretty decent spring. But in 83 the Reds were a complete disaster. They were not expected to do anything. Ronnie O was all they really had. In fact in either 82 or 83 lead the team in RBI. That tells how bad this team was on offense.

[alexad]

I think Walker and Jeff Russell were traded to the Rangers for Buddy Bell. Russell is another name. He came to Riverfront as a high schooler for some try out thing they always held and he actually ripped the cover off the baseball. The Reds looked at him as an outfielder, but he ended up pitching and was suppose to be a decent starter for the Reds. When he went to the Rangers, he closed for awhile. I actually got to meet him when the Rangers were in Cleveland. The game got rained out and we went to the hotel and met up with a bunch of the Rangers. We got Nolan Ryan to sign a few balls that night. I have to say Russell was a real jerk though.

[alexad]

Where have you gone, Dick Baney?

By Bill Peterson
Special to MLB.com

As often as baseball careers are measured by statistics, they just as often are not. Sometimes, they're characterized by episodes, little brushes of fame, maybe even one standout performance.

To look at Dick Baney's Major League record is to suppose he never pitched an important out. To understand that Baney, at 55, has been retired for ten years after a successful life of real estate and investment is to suppose that baseball meant little in his life.

But Baney still coaches Little League in Tustin, Calif., and he is immortalized in Jim Bouton's Ball Four as a young right-hander who barely missed making the Seattle Pilots in Spring Training and came up in July. And he pitched a pretty important game for the Reds on Sept. 25, 1973, a 2-1 victory over the San Diego Padres that clinched the old National League West for the Reds.

"I remember the Padres wearing those yellow and brown uniforms," Baney said, thinking back to that night. "I remember the standing ovation at the end of the game. I remember they wanted [Don] Gullett to pitch the game, and he had a sore arm. So they went to Jack Billingham, and they both had sore arms. So Sparky [Anderson] decided to give me a try."

And Baney said that in April 1974, he was the last man to pitch to Henry Aaron before Aaron hit his record-setting 715th home run on April 8. Aaron's Atlanta Braves opened the season with a series in Cincinnati, and Baney struck him out twice.

"He was so nervous, he was swinging at everything," Baney said.

It's funny how a career like Baney's crosses paths with a career like Hank Aaron's. While Aaron went on to Hall of Fame immortality, Baney went the way of a sore arm within a year.

Baney pitched only 42 games in the Major Leagues, beginning with the Pilots in 1969, their only year of existence. He won his only decision, then bounced around the Baltimore and Cincinnati organizations for the next three years. Finally, he resurfaced with the Reds in 1973, making 33 appearances, including two starts, over the next two seasons. Baney finished his career 4-1 with three saves and a 4.28 ERA in 90 innings.

"My happiest memory was the championship in 1973," Baney said. "My memories of baseball were my injuries, coming home after the season and having my mother pray for my arm, coming back from oblivion and pitching with the best team in baseball. That's probably my best memory."

By the end of the 1975 season, Baney knew his arm could no longer take it, so he needed to get on with his life. He went into real estate with his father, George, in the booming Southern California market.

"He built some of the major nightclubs and restaurants in Southern California," Baney said of his father. "He was into ice rinks. I helped him build some ice rinks and a golf course. Through him, there was life after baseball."

Baney said he enjoyed his time in Cincinnati and plans to visit again. He visited in 1996 and stayed in the home of then Reds manager Ray Knight.

But that's the closest he's been to the Major Leagues since 1974. In the meantime, he has enjoyed life and set himself up well.

"I didn't make a lot of money playing baseball," Baney said. "I hung around the minimum. There wasn't a lot of money at the time."
