Ralph Michael Gagliano (born October 8, 1946) is an American former professional baseball player. He appeared in one Major League Baseball game for the Cleveland Indians on September 21, 1965, during which he recorded no at-bats.[1] He has no "official" fielding position since he entered the game as a pinch-runner. He is the brother of Phil Gagliano.[2]
Gagliano entered his only MLB game in the ninth inning of a 9–4 loss to Mel Stottlemyre and the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium. With one out, Cleveland shortstop Larry Brown hit an infield single to third base and Gagliano pinch ran for him. The next batter, Richie Scheinblum, grounded into a force play, second baseman Bobby Richardson to shortstop Bobby Murcer, and Gagliano was retired.[3] Although that was the only game Gagliano appeared in at the Major League level, he played four years of minor league baseball, mostly as a shortstop.
