Ed Lynch #336

 

This week, a big, soft-tossing future lawyer...it's Ed Lynch! Ed was a college basketball recruit at South Carolina before switching to baseball. He was drafted by the Rangers and traded to the Mets where he moved through the minors. He became big league swingman and pitched 1 inning for the 1986 Mets before landing on the injured list. When he returned, the Mets traded him Chicago where he pitched a couple seasons for the Cubs. He then went to law school and had a front office career, including serving as Cubs GM.

Bob Kipper #723

 

This week, live from a basement in Aurora, Illinois...it's Bob Kipper! Kipper was a first round pick out of high school and debuted as a 20 year old for the Angels. That same year he was traded to the Pirates. After some rough seasons as a starter he became a very effective reliever for the Pirates NLCS teams in 1990 and 91. He has been a pitching coach in the Red Sox system since 1999!
