Pete Incaviglia #280

 

This week, a college legend who refused to play in the beautiful city of Montreal...it's Pete Incaviglia! Pete set records at OSU and then was part of an exciting young team in Texas. He made his MLB debut without playing a game in the minors and hit 20 or more homers his first 5 seasons in the big leagues. He also struck out a lot, leading the league twice in those first 5 seasons. He was a key part of the 1993 NL Champ Phillies and had a long minor league coaching career.

Matt Nokes #645 and #393

 


This week, our first All Star Rookie, first guest, and our first RBI Corner segment...it is Matt Nokes! Matt Nokes had a monster rookie year for the 1987 Tigers, setting a catcher rookie record with 32 home runs. He made the All Star Game, won a Silver Slugger, and finished 3rd in AL Rookie of the Year balloting. He went on to an 11 year MLB career and then became a coach. We also discussed airplanes and River City Ransom!
