The Twins announced his death on Twitter but did not provide details. Grant pitched in the majors for the Twins, Cleveland Indians, Oakland A’s, Los Angeles Dodgers, Pittsburgh Pirates, Montreal Expos and St. Louis Cardinals. He retired in 1971 with a record of 145-119 and 54 saves.
In the 1965 series, Grant is remembered for a three-run home run in the sixth game that led the Twins to a 5-1 victory. It was the only homer he hit that season, and forced the series to a decisive seventh game, which the Twins lost. “Though he spent just four years of his 14-year career with the Twins, Mudcat remained a beloved member of our organization well into his retirement and was a frequent visitor with fans and staff alike at Twinsfest,” the Twins said in a statement. “We send our condolences to the entire Grant family, as well as the other organizations impacted by his 60-plus years in and around the baseball world.”
Pitching coach Ted Wilks took exception to his improvisation, and reportedly used a racial epithet. The ensuing dust-up saw Grant leave the bullpen and exit the stadium. He was suspended for the remainder of the season for his actions.
