In the off-season Terry attended Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College during the years of 1953-56 where he played basketball for the Golden Norsemen routinely. Ralph spent twelve years in the major leagues playing professional baseball for the Yankees, Athletics, Indians and Mets. He played on seven pennant-winning teams and won three World Series Championships. He was named MVP of the 1962 World Series after winning two games for the Yankees.
Today, Ralph and his wife Tanya live in Larned, Kansa where the former Golden Norseman and retired baseball player is a professional golfer on the senior PGA Tour.
