Rick Ankiel Wiki: Salary, Married, Wedding, Spouse, Family
Richard Alexander Ankiel (/?æ?ki?l/; born July 19, 1979) is an American former professional baseball outfielder and pitcher.Ankiel was a pitcher with the St. Louis Cardinals from 1999 until 2004, when he lost his ability to throw strikes consistently. After trying to regain his pitching form in the minor leagues, he switched to the outfield in early 2005. For two and a half years, he honed his skills as a hitter and fielder in the Cardinals' minor-league system. He returned to the Cardinals on August 9, 2007. As a Cardinal (1999–2009), Ankiel hit 47 home runs as an outfielder and two as a pitcher.After the 2009 season, Ankiel became a free agent. Subsequently, he was signed by the Kansas City Royals and later was traded to the Atlanta Braves. He is the first player since Babe Ruth to have won at least 10 games as a pitcher and also hit at least 50 home runs. Ankiel is also the only player other than Ruth to both start a postseason game as a pitcher and hit a home run in the postseason as a position player. His change of position, and the fact that he played for six teams in a five-season span, suggest that Ankiel's playing history represents "one of the stranger careers in baseball history" in the words of journalist Barry Petchesky. | Net Worth | $12 Million |
