FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY
»April 20, 1969: It's a good thing he can pitch, as Red Sox hurler Ray Jarvis strikes out five times against Cleveland, but wins, 9–4.
»July 18, 1969: Red Sox pitcher Ray Jarvis drives in two runs and beats the Orioles, 6–1. The only score for the O's is a homer by Don Buford with Dave May on 1B. May holds up to watch Tony Conigliaro fall into the RF stands in a vain attempt to catch the drive and Buford passes May. May scores but Buford is called out and is credited with a single.
