Terence Roy McGriff (born September 23, 1963) is an American former professional baseball player who played for the Cincinnati Reds, Houston Astros, Florida Marlins, and St. Louis Cardinals of Major League Baseball (MLB).
He was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in the 8th round of the 1981 Major League Baseball draft, and he made his MLB debut on July 11, 1987. After retiring from playing, he became the bench/hitting coach for the Bridgeport Bluefish.
On August 7, 1988, McGriff caught a no-hitter with batterymate Jack Armstrong of the Triple-A Nashville Sounds. The game was one walk shy of being a perfect game.[1]
