American baseball player who pitched in the Major Leagues for the Kansas City Royals (1973, 1975–1977) and St. Louis Cardinals (1978-1982). Littell had a lifetime ERA of 3.32 and saved 56 games from 1976 to 1981. Bone spurs in his elbow cut his career short, and Littell retired midway through the 1982 season at the age of 29. Primarily a relief pitcher, Littell served at the Royals closer in 1976–1977, and is best remembered for giving up a walk-off home run to New York Yankees first baseman Chris Chambliss to end the 1976 American League Championship Series. It was only the second home run he allowed in more than 100 innings pitched that year. Littell wrote three books centered on his professional career in baseball as a player and coach. He died on 5 September 2022 at age 69. Link to Wikipedia biography Read less
