Our guest this week is Gary Lavelle. You should remember Gary as a left-handed relief pitcher for the San Francisco Giants (1974-1984). When you look at Gary's career stats (80-77 with an ERA of 2.93), you wonder why he gets lost in the shuffle. Gary discusses his career, from his minor league years and getting called up with the Giants in 1974. He talks about how tough it was to pitch in Candlestick Park. Gary finishes up his career with the Toronto Blue Jays and participates in the 1985 ALCS against the Kansas City Royals. Enjoy this trip Back When There Was Baseball into the NL West…
