Curtis Lowell Raydon (November 18, 1933 – March 3, 2018) was an American professional baseball player, a right-handed pitcher whose career extended from 1953 through 1961.
In 1958, he was a member of the Pittsburgh Pirates of Major League Baseball[1] and had a strong rookie campaign, only to be sidetracked by injury; 1958 would be his only big-league season.
After a successful pro debut in the Class A Sally League, he was included in a six-for-one trade to the Pirates on December 26, 1953, that netted the Braves second baseman Danny O'Connell.
Raydon then spent four full years in the Pirates' farm system before making Pittsburgh's 1958 roster out of spring training.
Beginning the year in the bullpen, he notched a save in his first MLB appearance on April 15 against the Braves (the defending 1957 World Series champions) in Milwaukee.
