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!
