Allan Fulton Worthington (born February 5, 1929), nicknamed "Red", is an American former professional baseball pitcher. He played all or part of 14 seasons in Major League Baseball. Following his major league career, Worthington sold life insurance for two years. After that, he replaced the retired Marv Grissom as the pitching coach for the Twins, serving in that capacity from 1972 through 1973. In 1974, he joined Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, where he helped start the Liberty University Flames baseball team, becoming the ballclub's first head coach. Worthington first found out about Liberty in 1973 when he heard Jerry Falwell speaking about it on the radio. Calling him, Worthington said the school should have a good Christian baseball coach; he wanted the job no matter what the salary. He served 13 seasons as the Flames' head coach, and the team's first season was its only losing one under his tenure.
