Walt "Moose" Moryn (born April 12, 1926 in St. Paul, Minnesota - July 21, 1996), is a former Major League Baseball player who played in the outfield for four different teams from by|1954 through by|1961. Moryn would play for the Brooklyn Dodgers, Chicago Cubs, St. Louis Cardinals, and Pittsburgh Pirates.

Moryn's career highlight was a dramatic shoe-string catch on the last out of the May 15, 1960 no-hitter by Don Cardwell of the Cubs. Cardwell's gem came in his Cubs debut after being acquired in a trade. As sports glory is often fleeting, Moryn himself became trade bait exactly a month later, at the trading deadline, when he was sent to the Cardinals.

Moryn died in Winfield, Illinois at the age of 70, and is buried in Assumption Cemetery in Wheaton, Illinois. [ [http://www.baseball-almanac.com/players/player.php?p=morynwa01 Baseball Almanac] ]
