Richie Todd Lewis is a former right-handed relief pitcher in Major League Baseball who played from 1992 to 1998 for the Baltimore Orioles, Florida Marlins, Detroit Tigers, Oakland Athletics and Cincinnati Reds. He attended Southside High School in Muncie, where his father was the coach for many years. He then went on to attend Florida State University. Originally drafted by the Montreal Expos 44th overall in the 1987 draft, Lewis spent a few years in the minors before making his big-league debut. He played only two games professionally in 1987, both in AAA ball. He would prove to be a very valuable minor league player over the next few seasons, both as a starter and reliever. For example, he posted a 2.58 ERA in 1989 as a starter, and in 1990 with the Jacksonville Expos he posted a 1.26 ERA as a reliever. He made his major league debut on July 31, 1992 at the age of 26. Standing at the height of 5 ft 6 in, Lewis?who is one of the shortest players ever to pitch in the majors?pitched just over four innings in his debut. He gave up five hits and walked six, but he still managed to earn the win. Lewis was selected in the 51st round of the 1992 Expansion draft by the Florida Marlins. 

January 25th, 1966 in Muncie (Age 58)
