Biography
Harry Fanok was a professional baseball pitcher who played in Major League Baseball from 1963 to 1964. Born in 1940, Fanok's career in the big leagues was relatively brief, but he made his mark as a reliable arm during a transitional period in baseball. He played primarily in an era characterized by the tail end of the deadball era and the emergence of more offensive-focused play, which made his contributions as a pitcher particularly noteworthy.
Throughout his career, Fanok compiled a record of 2-1 with an earned run average (ERA) of 5.4 over his time on the mound. He recorded a total of 35 strikeouts and notched one save, showcasing his ability to both start games and come in during crucial moments.
