McNally, David Arthur
▪ 2003
“Dave” 
      American professional baseball player (b. Oct. 31, 1942, Billings, Mont.—d. Dec. 1, 2002, Billings), was a phenomenal left-handed pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles; he completed four consecutive 20-win seasons between 1968 and 1971, appeared in three All-Star games (1969, 1970, and 1972), and helped his team win World Series titles in 1966 and 1970. McNally also took part in the landmark 1975 arbitration case that ended baseball's “reserve clause”—a contractual obligation that kept players bound to one team in perpetuity—and created the free-agent system, in which players could sell their talents to the highest bidder.
