Tony Lee Cloninger (b. August 13, 1940), is a former Major League Baseball starting pitcher who played for the Milwaukee and Atlanta Braves, the Cincinnati Reds and the St. Louis Cardinals.
Regarded as a tough fireball pitcher, Cloninger also was a dangerous power hitter. He compiled a career batting average of .192, with 67 RBI and 11 home runs, including five in the 1966 season.
On July 3, 1966, in the Braves' 17–3 win over the Giants at Candlestick Park in San Francisco, Cloninger helped his team's cause with two grand slams and nine RBI; as of 2018, this stands as the Braves' franchise record for RBI in a game. Cloninger became the first player in the National League, and the only pitcher to date, to hit two grand slams in the same game. He used a bat of teammate Denis Menke to hit both of these big home runs.
After retiring, he served as a bullpen coach for the New York Yankees (1992–2001), where he was a member of five American League champions and four World Series champion teams, and pitching coach for the Boston Red Sox (2002 through early 2003). He was forced to step down from the latter post when he underwent successful treatment for bladder cancer, which had been diagnosed in spring training. In 2018, Cloninger began his 15th consecutive season as a player development consultant for the Red Sox.

Cameron Maybin interrupts the conversation between Ramon and Angel Hernandez, to give Angel some love. I guess a slap on the ass is better than the customary bat whack on the shins...

Reds game 45/40. Backed by a four-run first inning versus the Reds Josh Smith – following a 2 hour and 31 minute rain delay and marked by Miguel Montero's two-run double – the Cubs Dan Haren allowed just three hits over 7 1/3 innings to help the Cubs move within three games of the top spot in the NL Wild Spot. Todd Frazier exited with a slight Achilles strain before Joey Votto extended his on-base streak to 46. The Cubs won 4-1. And the Reds losing streak was extended to 10 games. :/

The Cincinnati Reds commissioned this year this memorial to the players and management of the 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings, which was the first professional baseball team in America. Known as Red Stockings Pavilion, it contains bronze plaques of the starting nine players plus an alternate as well as the team's president and secretary. It was dedicated on May 4, 2019, which was the anniversary of the first game played on May 4, 1869.
The bronze busts were created by Cincinnati sculptor Tom Tsuchiya, who also did other statutes of legendary players that are at Great American Ball Park in downtown Cincinnati.
Riverfront Stadium at Cincinnati in Hamilton County, Ohio, was the baseball home of the National League's Cincinnati Reds and the football home of the NFL's Cincinnati Bengals. This snapshot was taken on Saturday afternoon, 30 September 1989.
