Kent Tekulve #543


This week we talked about the Rubber Band Man, 1979 World Series hero, submarine pitcher, sunglasses wearer, Mr. Rogers guest, and hero of the podcast...Kenton Charles "Teke" Tekulve. Teke had one of the most iconic looks in baseball. Tekulve didn't make his MLB debut until he was 27. He then went on to pitch until he was 42.  Tekulve pitched in 1050 games for the Pirates, Phillies, and Reds, leading the NL in games 4 times.
