The man not the shoes…An eight year MLB career
essentially in two three year acts with a two years of obscurity sandwiched in
the middle.....Act 1: Secured a spot on Cardinal staff 1969 after an eight year
farm club odyssey....performed in a mixed bullpen/spot starter role...worked his
way reliever for 1970-71….His trade was decidedly unsuccessful in the Big
Apple...picked up on waviers by Brewers for the end of the season where he
redeemed a bit of his season...Also released by Milwaukee just be but picked by
the Expos....Act 2: Played AAA most of 1973 but was able to share the #1 Expo fireman
role with Dale Murray after Mike Marshall’s exit the following season…played
two more seasons in Quebec, gradually losing effectiveness similar to his days
in St Louis....left game in 1976
