About George Frazier (pitcher)
George Allen Frazier was an American professional baseball player who pitched in the Major Leagues from 1978 to 1987, primarily as a set-up reliever. Frazier saw his first postseason action when the Yankees made it to the 1981 World Series. In Game 3, with the Yankees having won the first two games of the series, he was sent out to pitch in the third inning when starter Dave Righetti could only last two batters into the third inning with a 4-3 Yankee lead. In total, Frazier was the losing pitcher in three of the last four games of the World Series, which tied a record for most losses by a pitcher by Lefty Williams in the infamous 1919 World Series.
