The St. Louis Cardinals signed Haddix as an amateur free agent in 1947. He debuted for the Cards in 1952 and spent four seasons (1952-1956) with the team. His best season came in 1953 when he pitched 19 complete games with six shutouts, compiling a 20-9 record (including 163 strikeouts) with a 3.06 ERA. After brief stints with the Philadelphia Phillies (1956-1957) and the Cincinnati Redlegs (1958), Harvey signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates (1959-1963) and in an epic game on May 26, 1959, against the Milwaukee Braves, retired 36 consecutive batters in 12 innings – only to have a fielding error end the perfect game in the bottom of the 13th inning. He concluded his career after a stay with the Baltimore Orioles (1964-1965). A three-time All-Star (1953-1955), member of the 1960 World Series champion Pirates, and a three-time Gold Glove winner (1958-1960), Haddix retired with a 136-113 record, including 1,575 strikeouts, a 3.63 ERA, 99 complete games, 21 shutouts, and 21 saves in 2,235 innings pitched.
