Robert Clifford Speck (born August 8, 1956) is an American former pitcher in Major League Baseball who played for the Atlanta Braves in its 1986 season. Listed at 6' 4", 195 lb., Speck batted and threw right handed. He was born in Portland, Oregon.
The New York Mets selected Speck as their 17th pick in the first round of the 1974 MLB draft. Nevertheless, he had to wait 12 years in the Minor Leagues before making his major league debut with his fifth organization. Highlights of his minor league career included pitching in the longest game in the history of professional baseball, a 33 inning affair between Speck's Rochester Red Wings and the Pawtucket Red Sox. Speck was summoned to replace Steve Grilli with the bases loaded and no out, but he failed, allowing an RBI-single to Dave Koza in a 2-2 count which gave Pawtucket a 3β2 victory.
