Rex Barney
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rex Barney (1924-1997) was a hard-throwing pitcher for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1943 and from 1946 through 1950. He hurled a no-hitter against the New York Giants on September 9, 1948. He had to sit through a one-hour rain delay and showers in the 7th, 8th, and 9th innings to finish the game.
He was also the PA announcer for the Baltimore Orioles from 1974 until his death in 1997. He is famous for coining the term "Give that fan a contract!" when fans snared foul balls on the fly.
