Short ranks fourth in innings pitched, wins, and complete game shutouts, and third in strikeouts in Phillies club history. Somewhat lost in history is the fact that Short was among the best pitchers in the National League during his stay with the Phillies. From 1959 through 1972, the versatile Short was 15th in the NL in wins, seventh in appearances, seventh in games started, sixth in innings pitched, and 64th out of 185 in ERA. Shorts solid accomplishments often went undetected while pitching in the same staff as the legendary Jim Bunning. Short would make two All-Star teams including one in his finest season, 1964, where he would go 17-9 with a 2.20 ERA. Like many of the Phillies, the carriage turned back into a pumpkin for Short in September 1964 where he went just 3-2 with a 3.00 ERA in the month. Not horrible at all but definitely a downgrade from the other-worldly pitching he had going through August 26 (14-6, 1.69 ERA). Short passed away on August 1, 1991 after slipping into a coma from a ruptured aneurysm. Short was inducted on to the Phillies Wall of Fame in 1992.
