About Toby Harrah
Colbert Dale "Toby" Harrah is an American former professional baseball shortstop and third baseman. He played in Major League Baseball from 1969 to 1986. Harrah played the majority of his career for the Texas Rangers franchise, including his rookie season during the team's final year as the Washington Senators in 1971. He also played for the Cleveland Indians and the New York Yankees. In 1992, he briefly served as manager of the Rangers. Harrah most recently served as the assistant hitting coach for the Detroit Tigers. Legendary scout Tony Lucadello later discovered that Harrah was not attending school, but was instead working in a factory in nearby Marion. On June 25, 1976, Harrah played an entire doubleheader at shortstop without recording a single chance in the field. With the retirement of Jeff Burroughs in 1985, Harrah became the last active major leaguer to have played for the Washington Senators. In a 13–11 Rangers win over the Baltimore Orioles at Memorial Stadium on August 6, 1986 which was the first game in MLB history that featured three grand slams, Harrah hit the first one of the contest off Ken Dixon in the second inning.
