Gregory Brian Minton (born July 29, 1951), nicknamed "Moon Man", is an American former Major League Baseball (MLB) right-handed pitcher who played for the California Angels and San Francisco Giants.

[2] Also in 1982, Minton appeared in his only All-Star Game and finished sixth in National League Cy Young Award voting.

Over portions of 1988 and 1989, he pitched another 105+2⁄3 consecutive innings without giving up a home run, which was the longest stretch of this type by any pitcher in Angels history.

[4] After his career as a player, Minton was a pitching coach in the California Angels organization and managed the independent Lubbock Crickets for two years.

Minton's nickname, "Moon Man," stemmed from various escapades such as the hijacking of the team bus and the flooding of a minor league ballpark so he could leave Amarillo one day early at the end of the season.
