Back When There Was Baseball: Kent Tekulve

We take a look back this week into the mid-1970s through the late 1980s with one of the best relief pitchers of that era.  Kent "Teke" Tekulve joins us this week to discuss his career which spanned from 1974-1989.  He talks about how he was signed by the Pirates on a somewhat fluke situation.  Teke had 3 years where he appeared in 90 games or more, with the final one happening when he was 40 years old as the setup man for Steve Bedrosian to help Bedrock win the NL Cy Young Award.  He was one of the first "submarine" pitchers and you will be hard pressed to find one who pitched better, especially over the length of his career.  Enjoy this look Back When There Was Baseball with Kent Tekulve.
