Jerry McNertney

Gerald Edward McNertney (born August 7, 1936) is an American former professional baseball player and coach. He played in Major League Baseball as a catcher in 1964 and then from 1966 to 1973.

McNertney was the regular catcher for the Pilots in 1969—the only year the franchise played in the Pacific Northwest—where he reached career highs in at bats (410), home runs (8) and runs batted in (55).

McNertney was the last player to bat in Seattle Pilots history, striking out for the final out of the team's final game on October 2, 1969. The 1969 Seattle Pilots season was immortalized by the book Ball Four, written by his Seattle teammate, Jim Bouton. McNertney played in his final major league game for the Pittsburgh Pirates on June 15, 1973 at the age of 36.
