	Dave Righetti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		David Allan Righetti (born November 28, 1958 in San Jose, California), nicknamed "Rags", is an American former left-handed pitcher, and current pitching coach, in Major League Baseball.
		In 1984, Righetti was moved to the Yankees' bullpen due to an excess of starters, and replaced Goose Gossage as the team's closer.
		Righetti retained the single-season record for left-handers until 1993, when Randy Myers saved 53 games for the Chicago Cubs; Righetti still owns the AL record for left-handers.

	SI.com - Sports Illustrated -- The Magazine - SI Flashback: Righetti's July 4 no-hitter - Friday July 04, 2003 ...
		Righetti has a Carlton-like assortment of pitches: a fastball he throws about 60% of the time that rides away from righthanded hitters; a slider he throws 30% of the time that breaks in on them; and a ninfty curve and changeup he can spot.
		Righetti's father, Leo, was a minor league shortstop in the Yankee and Brave organizations from 1944 to '57.
		Dave was an outfielder who switched to pitcher his senior year in high school on the advice of Leo's old friend Paddy Cottrell, a Ranger scout.

		Righetti, who played for the Giants from 1991-93, returned to the team in 1999 as the roving minor-league pitching instructor.
		With that, Righetti doesn't want to think about the future beyond the next game of the World Series, and whether he expects to return to the Giants, with or without Baker at the helm.

		The 24-year-old Righetti was in just his third full season in the majors, sharing the rotation with Louisiana Lightning Ron Guidry and the forgettable Shane Rawley, Bob Shirley, and Ray Fontenot.
		Righetti actually had a perfect game for the first three innings, as I recall, before Rice became the first Boston base runner after working out a walk in the fourth.
		I actually felt a little sad for Righetti at that point in the game, because I was certain that Boggs would ruin his day on the brink of pitching immortality.

		Righetti had the great good sense to pitch his gem on the Fourth of July in Yankee Stadium against the Boston Red Sox on a sunny, hot Sunday afternoon, the last day before the All-Star break.
		In 1983, Righetti was a 24-year-old left-hander, on his way to a 14-8 season in his third year with the Yankees.

		But for Giants players, coaches and fans, the image of Beck soaking his entire body in ice baths and then dragging his right arm to the mound eight times in nine of the 1993 pennant race's final insomnia-provoking days endures beyond his eye-opening statistics and awe-inspiring presence.
		Beck, who pitched a perfect ninth to preserve a 5-3 victory and the Giants' pennant chances, could only stand there and pray as he watched Martinez make the catch because prayer is all he had left from the normal rigors of a six-month season.
		Righetti, once the finest closer in the game, played a major -- and very classy -- role in Beck's emergence.

		Today marks the 20th anniversary of Righetti's no-no, and for the first time since that 4-0 game the Yankees and Red Sox will square off on July 4.
		Righetti still remembers how hot it was, the unusual between-innings prize giveaway, the Yankee announcers calling the game from behind home plate that day, the long delay between the eighth and ninth innings because home-plate umpire Steve Palermo hurt his knee.
		Righetti did just that, striking out the side in the first inning on the way to the best game of his career, which lives on in the Righetti household because his wife, Kandice, makes their 11-year-old triplets watch a videotape of the game.
