His autograph is more compact these days! |
Perhaps, pitcher Chuck Hartenstein registered some of his biggest victories after his playing career.
He remembered:
“With Cleveland, Rick Wise and Sid Monge had career years. It was all in the handling of them. They made a lot of money from that year.
In 1987, I coached at Milwaukee. Again, several guys had career years. Dave Duncan in 1988 with Oakland beat us out of the best ERA for a staff by the third decimal point.
My best accomplishment was Bob Walk with the Pirates. He had bounced around and was very inconsistent. I taught him how to change speeds and get hitters out. He got another 6-7 years in Big Leagues because of that!
Good luck with your collection!
Chuck Hartenstein”
