[edit] Biographical Information
The younger brother of Lindy McDaniel, Von McDaniel made his debut with a splash in 1957 at age 18. With a blazing fastball and incredible potential, great things were expected of him. Unfortunately, beset with chronic arm problems he soon disappeared from the majors after his fine rookie season. Von switched to playing the field in 1959 while also performing often as a pitcher, but after that he would appear on the mound just occasionally. He made it back to Triple A in 1963-1964 and finished his pro career in the Texas Leasgue in 1966.
Another brother, Kerry Don McDaniel, pitched in the minors for the St. Louis Cardinals.
