Clifford David Ross (August 3, 1928 – April 12, 1999) was an American professionalbaseball player: a 6 ft 4 in (1.93 m), 195 lb (88 kg) left-handedpitcher. Born inPhiladelphia, Ross played eight seasons of pro baseball between 1947 and 1957 and appeared in fourgames played for theCincinnati Redlegs ofMajor League Baseball at the end of the1954 season.
Ross was recalled by the Redlegs after completing his most successfulminor league season, in which we won 13 of 23decisions with a 2.91earned run average for the Class ASchenectady Blue Jays.[1] Pitching inrelief, Ross allowed noruns and nohits in his four MLB games, three of them againstfirst division opponents. Hestruck out one hitter and — notably for a pitcher who once issued 204bases on balls in 143innings pitched in the minors[1] — walked no one. In2+2⁄3innings, Ross faced the minimum of eight batsmen and retired them all. He did not earn a decision, but recorded onesave.
