This week, a sidearm guy with one of the greatest relief seasons in history...Mark Eichhorn! Mark nearly won an ERA title as a rookie in 1986 with 1.72. Mark went 14-6 and dominated for 157 innings...but fell 5 innings short of qualification for the AL ERA title! That is the 3rd best season by a reliever on Baseball-Reference.com by WAR at 7.3. He had a great 11 season career as a setup man winning 2 World Series with the Toronto Blue Jays!
Topics: Watson, sad 70s singers, Carly Rae Jepsen, German Squirrels
