Our guest this week is Tom Burgmeier. You should remember Tom as a left-handed relief pitcher mainly in the 1970s, but do you really know how good he was? Tom pitched in the Majors from 1968-1984, had a record of 79-55 with an ERA of 3.23. The last six years of his career his ERA was under 3.00. That is incredible considering he was over 35 each of those years. The 1978 one-game playoff between the Red Sox and Yankees was the only postseason game his teams played in. To accomplish all he did, on mostly sub-par teams, is astounding. We hope you enjoy this trip Back When There Was Baseball with Tom Burgmeier.
