From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edward Redys (June 23, 1921 – May 9, 2009) was an American Minor League Baseball player and Major League Baseball coach.
Ed Redys was born June 23, 1921, in Detroit, Michigan. His professional baseball career started as a pitcher in the St. Louis Browns organization. In 1942, while assigned to the San Antonio Missions minor league team, Redys suffered an ankle injury and did not pitch the rest of the season.[1] Before he could return from injury, he was drafted and served in the U.S. Army. After not playing baseball for the remainder of the war, he returned in 1946 and injured his elbow. Although he played a few more years of minor league baseball, he was never promoted to the major league club.[1] Between stints in 1940–1941 and 1946–1947, he finished with a 28–26 minor-league win–loss record and a 3.29 earned run average
