Lyle Forrest "Bud" Tinning (March 12, 1906 – January 17, 1961) was a major league pitcher for the Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1930s.

Tinning was born and raised in Pilger, Nebraska, where he was a sports star for the high school and local sandlot baseball teams.

[This quote needs a citation] While a starter in the minors, Tinning soon proved to be a success as a long relief pitcher, who could be counted on for occasional starts.

In the 1932 World Series, Tinning pitched three shutout innings against the New York Yankees in two relief appearances, and struck out Babe Ruth.

[full citation needed] Tinning's best year in the majors was in 1933, as he went 13–6 with a 3.18 ERA, and led the National League in winning percentage and was ninth in total shutouts, with three.

[citation needed] In November 1934, Tinning and Dick Ward were traded to the St. Louis Cardinals for Tex Carleton.

The brothers often hunted pheasants during these visits and Bud packed cleaned birds in dry ice to take back so he and his friends in Chicago could feast!
