Crider appeared in 21 games for the Western Division champ Twins during his rookie season, pitching 28.2 innings and picking up a win against no losses, along with an earned run average of 4.71.
In May of the following year he was traded over to the Chicago White Sox, where it turns out he’d appear in 32 games, compiling a record of 4-7 with an ERA of 4.45 in 91 innings of work.
Turns out those would be the last of his brief career, as he would go on to play in the San Diego Padres and San Francisco Giants Minor League systems the next three years before retiring as an active player after the 1973 season.
All told, he finished his career with a record of 5-7 along with an ERA of 4.51 over 53 appearances and 119.2 innings pitched with five saves thrown in.
