Harold King (February 1, 1944 – March 23, 2019)[1] was an American professional baseball player. He played in Major League Baseball and the Mexican League as a catcher from 1967 to 1979 for the Houston Astros, Texas Rangers, Atlanta Braves, Cincinnati Reds and the Saraperos de Saltillo.
King is notable for hitting a season-changing home run on July 1, 1973, for the then-slumping Reds, pinch-hitting a walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth with the score at 3–1 Dodgers, two on base, and the count at 2 balls and 2 strikes. The play was credited with turning the season around, and the Reds ended the season by winning the division. The Cincinnati Enquirer called the home run one of the most dramatic in Reds history.
