Steve Whitaker joins us this week. Steve played from 1962-1972 with parts of 5 seasons in the Big Leagues. He started out in the Yankees organization and talks about playing in Yankee Stadium (when the monuments were in the field of play) with Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris and Bobby Richardson to name a few. Steve ended up in the expansion Seattle Pilots organization and played in their inaugural season (1969). His last year was with the San Francisco Giants in Candlestick Park. Enjoy this trip Back When There Was Baseball to the mid-1960s through the early 1970s with our guest Steve Whitaker.

Greg Terlecky joins us this week. We've had the privilege of hosting several pitchers that had great resumes, but for some reason or other, just didn't quite pan out. Greg is one of those pitchers and had he not been "rushed", could have had a different career. He played one season at the Big-League level in 1975 for the St. Louis Cardinals and just when he thought he was going to factor into their pitching rotation in 1976, he was traded to the Chicago White Sox. Greg was a "Bonus Baby" and this may have contributed to his being rushed to the Majors. He took his baseball experience and became successful in the insurance/financial planning business when his baseball career was over. Join us as we go Back When There Was Baseball and look at the career of Greg Terlecky.

Some of you may never have heard about our guest this week, but you will come away impressed with what this gentleman brought to the game when he was healthy. Gil Patterson joins us to talk about his career. He only played in the Majors for one year and it was 1977 with the New York Yankees. Gil can reminisce about "The Bronx Zoo" year and the many things that happened during that season. When you review some of the most promising pitchers that never quite made it due to injury, Gil Patterson has to be up there at the top. We go Back When There Was Baseball to the 1970s with Gil Patterson, who will also share his unique Topps Baseball Card story.
