Marcus Wayne Garland (born October 26, 1950) is a retired American professional baseball player. A right-hander, he pitched in the major leagues for nine seasons from 1973 to 1981 for the Baltimore Orioles (1973–1976) and Cleveland Indians (1977–1981). He was one of the first 24 ballplayers who profited from the advent of MLB free agency following the 1976 season,[1] when he became the first MLB player to sign a 10-year contract.[2]
