About Dick Mauney
- Richard Mauney (January 26, 1920 – February 6, 1970) was an American professional baseball player, a right-handed pitcher who worked in 53 Major League games (24 as a starting pitcher) for the Philadelphia Phillies from 1945–47.
- Born in Concord, North Carolina, he stood 5 feet 11 inches (1.80 m) tall and weighed 164 pounds (74 kg). Mauney's 1943–47 pro career spanned both the wartime and post-World War II eras.
- Unlike many players who were called to the Majors during the war whose performance suffered in 1946, when Major League veterans returned from military service, Mauney enjoyed a better 1946 than his 1945 campaign.
- He posted a winning record (6–4) in 1946 and lowered his earned run average by 0.38 to 2.70, although he did pitch in 32?2/3 fewer innings in 1946. Altogether, Mauney appeared in 229 Major League innings pitched, allowing 240 hits and 52 bases on balls.
- He struck out 72, and recorded nine complete games, three shutouts and four saves.
