'''Terry Lee Pendleton''' (born July 16, 1960) is an American former [[third baseman]] in [[Major League Baseball]] (MLB). He played primarily for the [[St. Louis Cardinals]] and [[Atlanta Braves]], but he also spent time with the [[Florida Marlins]], [[Cincinnati Reds]], and [[Kansas City Royals]]. After his playing career, he became a coach for the Braves. Pendleton holds the record for most [[World Series]] appearances without a championship win, alongside [[Rube Marquard]] and [[Fred Merkle]], with 5 during his 15-year career.

==Pre-MLB career==
Pendleton started his baseball career as an Eastside Little League player, and then he moved on to play second base at [[Channel Islands High School]].<ref name=cheer>{{cite news|first=Tom|last=Saladino|title=ATLANTA CAN CHEER PENDLETON AGAIN.|url=http://www.thefreelibrary.com/ATLANTA+CAN+CHEER+PENDLETON+AGAIN-a083963853|work=SPORTS|publisher=[[Los Angeles Daily News]]|date=1996-08-25|access-date=2007-11-18}}</ref> He played at [[Oxnard College]] from 1979 to 1980.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-12-22 |title=“HOLD ON AND FIGHT” {{!}} Terry Pendleton, MLB player from Oxnard, offers his story and gives thanks |url=https://www.vcreporter.com/news/hold-on-and-fight-terry-pendleton-mlb-player-from-oxnard-offers-his-story-and-gives/article_ca855b27-32b8-5bb3-af8e-988294e20fae.html |access-date=2025-04-09 |website=VC Reporter {{!}} Times Media Group - News, Culture, Arts and Opinion |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Oxnard College Graduate and World Series Baseball Player Presented with Statewide Distinguished Alumni Award {{!}} Oxnard College |url=https://www.oxnardcollege.edu/news/oxnard-college-graduate-and-world-series-baseball-player-presented-statewide-distinguished |access-date=2025-04-09 |website=www.oxnardcollege.edu |language=en}}</ref> The 1979 Oxnard team was the school's first team, and he helped lead the Condors to a state championship berth while earning a scholarship.

==Major League career==

===St. Louis Cardinals (1984-1990)===
Pendleton made his major league debut on July 18, 1984, against the [[San Francisco Giants]].<ref name=br/> Batting sixth in the lineup, he made an immediate impact, getting three [[hit (baseball)|hits]] in five [[at-bat]]s en route to an 8–4 victory for the Cardinals.<ref>{{Cite web |title=San Francisco Giants vs St. Louis Cardinals Box Score: July 18, 1984 |url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/SLN/SLN198407180.shtml |access-date=2025-03-09 |website=[[Baseball Reference]] |language=en}}</ref> In 67 games during the [[1984 St. Louis Cardinals season|1984 season]], Pendleton had a .324 [[batting average (baseball)|batting average]], 20 [[stolen base]]s, and finished tied for seventh in [[Major League Baseball Rookie of the Year Award]] voting.<ref name=br/> The [[1985 St. Louis Cardinals season|1985 season]] saw Pendleton remain in the starting lineup at third base. His batting average trailed off, and he only hit .240 for the season and was caught stealing 12 times; he had 17 stolen bases on the season.<ref name=br/> He hit an [[Inside-the-park home run|inside-the-park]] [[Grand slam (baseball)|grand slam]] off [[Joe Sambito]] when [[Danny Heep]] collided with [[Terry Blocker]] in right-centerfield in the fifth inning of an 8&ndash;2 win over the [[1985 New York Mets season|New York Mets]] in the second game of a [[Doubleheader (baseball)|doubleheader]] at [[Shea Stadium]] on June 9, 1985.<ref>[https://www.upi.com/Archives/1985/06/09/Terry-Pendleton-hit-an-inside-the-park-grand-slam-home-run/4879487137600/ "Terry Pendleton hit an inside-the-park grand slam home run...," ''United Press International'' (UPI), Sunday, June 9, 1985.] Retrieved February 3, 2023.</ref> The Cardinals advanced to the [[1985 World Series]], and Pendleton ended up hitting the Cardinals' only triple, doing so in the Cardinals' 3–0 Game 4 win.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.baseball-almanac.com/box-scores/boxscore.php?boxid=198510230SLN|title=1985 World Series Game 4 Box Score|access-date=2007-10-22}}</ref> His statline for the [[1986 St. Louis Cardinals season|1986 season]] was only modestly better. His batting average remained low at .239 and he only hit a single home run, but he was able to steal 24 bases, hit 26 [[double (baseball)|doubles]], and 5 [[triple (baseball)|triples]].<ref name=br/> St. Louis management became disappointed with Pendleton after this season, but manager [[Whitey Herzog]] pointed out to them that it was his base running and fielding (he led the [[National League (baseball)|National League]] in [[putout]]s and assists) that made him vital to the team's success.<ref name=bl/>

Pendleton answered front office criticism in his best season to date, the [[1987 St. Louis Cardinals season|1987 season]]. He improved in many statistical aspects in which he was struggling, including raising his batting average to a respectable .286.<ref name=br/> He was a strong contributor to the team's pennant win, placing second on the team in [[home run]]s, third in [[runs batted in]], and tied for third in stolen bases.<ref name=bl/> Pendleton's fielding efforts led to his earning his first [[List of NL Gold Glove Winners at Third Base|Gold Glove]], the first by a Cardinal third baseman since [[Ken Reitz]] in 1975, as well as finishing tied for 17th in MVP voting.<ref name=br/> Unfortunately, as the Cardinals reached the [[1987 World Series]] to play the [[Minnesota Twins]], Pendleton ended up sidelined for most of the series with a rib cage injury.<ref>{{cite news|first=Murray|last=Chass|title=WORLD SERIES '87; Cardinals Won't Have Pendleton at Third for Series|url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9B0DEFDA1E3EF935A25753C1A961948260|work=New York Times|date=1987-10-16|access-date=2007-11-18}}</ref> Despite this injury, Pendleton's switch-hitting ability meant that he was able to be used as a left-handed [[designated hitter]] during three of the four games the Cardinals played at the [[Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome]]. He finished the series by playing three games, getting three hits on seven at-bats as the Cardinals fell in seven games for the second time in three years.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.baseball-almanac.com/ws/yr1987ws.shtml|title=1987 World Series by Baseball Almanac|access-date=2007-10-22}}</ref>

As the [[1988 St. Louis Cardinals season|1988 season]] began, Pendleton seemed to struggle where he had flourished. Despite racking up 80 stolen bases in his first four seasons, he only stole three bases during the whole 1988 season; in fact, he went the rest of his career without stealing more than 10.<ref name=br/> Injuries also plagued him in 1988, as he missed a few weeks with a right hamstring injury and had arthroscopic surgery in mid-September, which cut his season short.<ref>{{cite news|first=John|last=Sonderegger|title=PENDLETON LEAVES FOR NEVADA, SURGERY|publisher=[[St. Louis Post-Dispatch]]|date=1988-09-20}}</ref> Despite this, Pendleton hoped to rebound for the [[1989 St. Louis Cardinals season|1989 season]]. Rebounding was exactly what he did, as he played in all 162 games for the only time in his career, finished ninth in hits with 162, and earned his second Gold Glove with an impressive .971 [[fielding percentage]].<ref name=br/> Despite an impressive 1989 season, Pendleton struggled during the [[1990 St. Louis Cardinals season|1990 season]]. His overall production declined that season, as evidenced by his .230 batting average and .277 [[on-base percentage]],.<ref name=br/> By the end of the season, he was splitting time with rookie [[Todd Zeile]]. After the season ended, Zeile appeared to be the third baseman of the future for the Cardinals, and Pendleton became a free agent.

Pendleton is one of many major league players to have an error on a [[baseball card]]. His 1985 Donruss card lists him as Jeff Pendleton.<ref>{{cite web|last=Markusen|first=Bruce|title=A baseball card mystery: Who is Jeff Pendleton?|url=http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/blog_article/a-baseball-card-mystery-who-is-jeff-pendleton/|work=TheHardballTimes.com|date=25 April 2012 |access-date=6 May 2012}}</ref>

===Atlanta Braves (1991-1994)===
After Pendleton was granted free agency on November 5, 1990,<ref name=br/> the [[Atlanta Braves]] were undergoing a similar overhaul as they acquired a new general manager, [[John Schuerholz]]. Assuming command of a last-place team, Schuerholz went to work and recruited half of a new infield by first signing [[Sid Bream]] to a contract<ref>{{cite news|first=Murray|last=Chass|title= BASEBALL; Free-Agent Signings in the Game of Catch-the-Leader|url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C0CE6DE1331F93AA35751C1A966958260&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=print|work= New York Times|date=1990-12-09|access-date=2007-11-18}}</ref> and then inking Pendleton to a four-year, $10.2 million deal on December 3, 1990.<ref>{{cite news|first=Murray|last=Chass|title=BASEBALL; McGee Signed by Giants; Expos Retain Martinez|url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C0CE4DA133BF937A35751C1A966958260|work=New York Times|date=1990-12-04|access-date=2007-11-18}}</ref> With a new team and a new contract, Pendleton had a career year during the [[1991 Atlanta Braves season|1991 season]], leading the Braves from a sixth-place finish the year prior to a division title and pennant.<ref name=bl/> He had his best individual season, finishing with a .319 batting average and 187 hits, both of which led the National League.<ref name=br/> He also hit a career-high 22 home runs and a career-high eight triples.<ref name=br/> Despite his impressive statistics, Pendleton was not selected for the All-Star Game. He was, however, named the [[Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player Award|National League MVP]], edging out [[Barry Bonds]] by only 15 points.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20051115&content_id=1268475&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb|title=Pujols wins first MVP award|access-date=2007-10-23}}</ref> Pendleton also won the [[MLB Comeback Player of the Year Award]] because of his statistical improvements.<ref name=tbc/> Pendleton's performance in the [[1991 World Series]]—a rematch for him against the Twins and the third series he played in—was also impressive. He went 11 for 30, hit 2 home runs, and started at third for all 7 games.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.baseball-almanac.com/ws/yr1991ws.shtml|title=1991 World Series by Baseball Almanac|access-date=2007-10-23}}</ref> In Game 7 of the series, Pendleton hit a double in the eighth inning that should have scored a run, however [[Lonnie Smith (baseball)|Lonnie Smith]] did not advance home, and a double play to end the inning kept the score at 0–0, leading to the Braves' eventual Game 7 defeat and Pendleton's third Game 7 World Series loss in a row.<ref>{{cite news|first=Jack|last=Curry|title=WORLD SERIES; Pendleton Unable To Shake Dome Hex|url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D0CEEDF1139F93BA15753C1A967958260|work=The New York Times|date=1991-10-28|access-date=2007-11-18}}</ref>

As the [[1992 Atlanta Braves season|1992 season]] rolled around, Pendleton remained in peak form. In 160 games, Pendleton batted .311, hit 21 home runs, and scored 94 runs.<ref name=br/> He had 105 [[Runs batted in|RBIs]], which ranked second in the National League and marked the only time he passed 100 RBIs in his career. Also, he racked up 199 hits, which was good for the National League lead as well as a career-high total.<ref name=br/> He also finished second in the National League in at bats with 640, earning his only bid to the [[Major League Baseball All-Star Game]]. Pendleton also won his third Gold Glove at third base (the first by a Braves third baseman since [[Clete Boyer]] in 1969) en route to the Braves making their second World Series appearance in a row.<ref name=br/> However, despite a 6-for-25 showing by Pendleton, the Braves fell to the [[Toronto Blue Jays]] in 6 games, losing all 4 games by 1 run.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://baseball-almanac.com/ws/yr1992ws.shtml|title=1992 World Series by Baseball Almanac|access-date=2007-10-24}}</ref> This marked Pendleton's fourth World Series loss in four attempts. Pendleton continued to produce extra-base hits during the [[1993 Atlanta Braves season|1993 season]], hitting 17 home runs and 33 doubles. However, he appeared to be showing signs of slowing down; although he placed second in at bats with 633, he led the National League in outs with 490.<ref name=br/> His batting average of .272 was notably lower than his previous two seasons, and his luck did not fare any better as the [[1994 Atlanta Braves season|1994 season]] rolled around. He spent part of the season on the disabled list because of spasms in his neck and back, and after only hitting .252 for the season, Pendleton opted for free agency.<ref name=bl/>

===Later career (1995-1998)===
Pendleton was granted free agency on October 24, 1994, and he was picked up by the [[Florida Marlins]] on April 7, 1995.<ref name=br/> Pendleton improved his batting average to .290, and hit 14 home runs while playing in 133 games.<ref name=br/> Pendleton went on to play 111 games for the Marlins in 1996, hitting .251 with 7 home runs.<ref name=br/> After spending the [[1995 Florida Marlins season|1995]] and most of the [[1996 Florida Marlins season|1996]] on the Marlins, he was traded back to the injury battered Braves.<ref name=cheer/> Right-fielder [[David Justice]] was lost for the season with a shoulder separation in May, and shortstop [[Jeff Blauser]] suffered a broken bone in his left hand, which caused him to miss some playing time.<ref name=cheer/> Acquiring Pendleton meant [[Chipper Jones]] could play at his natural shortstop position while Pendleton played third.<ref name=cheer/> Pendleton was traded to the Braves on August 13, 1996, for minor league prospect [[Roosevelt Brown (baseball)|Roosevelt Brown]].<ref name=br/> He went on to play in the [[1996 World Series]]—the fifth World Series of his career. However, he was used only in a limited role en route to a 6-game loss to the [[New York Yankees]], leaving Pendleton 0-for-5 in his chances for a [[World Series ring]].<ref name=bl/>

[[File:Terry Pendleton August 2011.jpg|thumb|Pendleton as the Braves' first base coach, 2011.]]
The Braves let Pendleton go after the 1996 season, and he signed on with the [[Cincinnati Reds]] on January 27, 1997.<ref name=br/> However, he was released on July 24, 1997, after hitting .248 with one home run and two stolen bases.<ref>{{cite news|title=Reds Release Pendleton|url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F00E6DE1F3BF937A15754C0A961958260|work=The New York Times|date=1997-07-24|access-date=2007-11-18}}</ref> While with the Reds, Pendleton had three stints on the disabled list, and after his release, he spent the rest of the season recovering and did not sign with another club.<ref name=bl/> In January 1998, the [[Kansas City Royals]] were looking for veteran leadership, and on January 20, 1998, signed Pendleton to provide a veteran presence and help mentor its younger players.<ref name=bl/> Pendleton was used in a limited role, backing up Dean Palmer. He played 79 games in 1998, splitting time between the [[designated hitter]] position and third base.<ref name=br/> After the 1998 season ended—his 15th professional season—Pendleton retired to spend more time with his family.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/terry-hangs-it-up-after-15-years/|title=Terry Hangs It Up After 15 Years|date=1998-12-12|publisher=CBS Sportsline|access-date=2007-10-25}}</ref>

===Career statistics===
In 1893 games over 15 seasons, Pendleton posted a .270 [[batting average (baseball)|batting average]] (1897-for-7032) with 851 [[run (baseball)|runs]], 356 [[double (baseball)|doubles]], 39 [[triple (baseball)|triples]], 140 [[home runs]], 946 [[Run batted in|RBI]], 127 [[stolen bases]], 486 [[bases on balls]], .316 [[on-base percentage]] and .391 [[slugging percentage]]. Defensively, he recorded a .957 [[fielding percentage]] and led National League third basemen in [[putout]]s and [[Assist (baseball)|assists]] five times each. In 66 postseason games, including 5 World Series, he batted .252 (58-for-230) with 26 runs, 12 doubles, 3 triples, 3 home runs, 23 RBI, 2 stolen bases and 12 walks.<ref name="br" />

===Coaching career===
After spending a couple years with his wife and three children, Pendleton got his first coaching job in November 2001 as the hitting coach of the [[Atlanta Braves]].<ref name=braves>{{cite web|url=http://atlanta.braves.mlb.com/team/coach_staff_bio.jsp?c_id=atl&coachorstaffid=510102122849|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071116090604/http://atlanta.braves.mlb.com/team/coach_staff_bio.jsp?c_id=atl&coachorstaffid=510102122849|url-status=dead|archive-date=November 16, 2007|title=Team: Manager and Coaches: Terry Pendleton 9|access-date=2007-10-25}}</ref> Pendleton served in that role through the 2010 season. In 2006, he was on a short list of manager candidates to replace [[Frank Robinson]] as manager of the [[Washington Nationals]]; a few weeks into the process, Pendleton withdrew himself from consideration.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/10/05/AR2006100501656.html|title=Nats Contact Braves About Pendleton|last=Svrluga|first=Barry|date=2006-10-06|newspaper=Washington Post|access-date=2007-10-24}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/10/24/AR2006102401676.html|title=Braves' Pendleton Pulls Out Of the Nats' Manager Chase|last=Svrluga|first=Barry|newspaper=Washington Post|date=2006-10-25|access-date=2007-10-24}}</ref> In 2007, Pendleton was also reportedly one of the front-runners to replace [[Tony La Russa]] as manager of the St. Louis Cardinals before La Russa ultimately decided to stay with the Cardinals.<ref>{{cite news|first=Joe|last=Strauss|title=Cards antsy over La Russa's decision|publisher=[[St. Louis Post-Dispatch]]|date=2007-10-09}}</ref> He was a candidate to replace [[Bobby Cox]] when the esteemed Braves manager retired at the end of the 2010 season.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ajc.com/sports/1912103984rk?php.htm|title=Braves to Hold Off on Announcing Skipper Replacement|access-date=2009-10-03}}{{Dead link|date=September 2010|bot=H3llBot}}</ref>

When [[Fredi Gonzalez]] was announced as Braves manager after the 2010 season, Pendleton was moved from hitting coach to first base coach, where he replaced [[Glenn Hubbard (baseball)|Glenn Hubbard]].<ref>{{cite news|last1=Walton|first1=Carroll Rogers|title=Terry Pendleton ready for new role as first-base coach|url=http://www.ajc.com/news/sports/baseball/terry-pendleton-ready-for-new-role-as-first-base-c/nQp3N/|access-date=May 21, 2016|work=The Atlanta Journal-Constitution|date=January 25, 2011}}</ref> Gonzalez was fired and replaced by [[Brian Snitker]] in May 2016, and Snitker chose Pendleton as bench coach.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Bowman|first1=Mark|title=Pendleton, Perez discuss new roles, Snitker|url=http://m.braves.mlb.com/news/article/178904296/terry-pendleton-eddie-perez-on-brian-snitker|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160520124638/http://m.braves.mlb.com/news/article/178904296/terry-pendleton-eddie-perez-on-brian-snitker|url-status=dead|archive-date=May 20, 2016|access-date=May 21, 2016|work=MLB.com|date=May 18, 2016}}</ref> Pendleton was replaced by [[Walt Weiss]] after the 2017 season.<ref name="o069">{{Cite web |last=O'Brien |first=David |date=2017-11-12 |title=Terry Pendleton, Eddie Perez out as Braves coaches, Walt Weiss added |url=https://www.ajc.com/sports/baseball/pendleton-and-perez-out-braves-coaches-walt-weiss/yvQP5ILjV6oIrg3vBqDayN/ |access-date=2025-01-23 |website=[[The Atlanta Journal-Constitution]]}}</ref>
