Skok, who made his MLB debut in 1973 with the Boston Red Sox, was now back on a Big League mound as a Texas Ranger in 1976, appearing in nine games and posting a record of 0-1.
It wasn’t the most successful return, as he got hit hard, giving up 13 hits along with three walks in just five innings pitched.
He would not play any pro ball at all in 1977 before coming back to the Majors in 1978, now with the Atlanta Braves where he’d finally get his first win, going 3-2 with a 4.35 ERA over 43 appearances and 62 innings of work.
In 1979 he’d be back with the Braves, going 1-3 with a 3.98 ERA in 44 appearances and 54.1 innings, but it would be the last time on a Big League mound, spending all of 1980 in the Minors before retiring from Pro Ball.
For his career he appeared in 107 games, all in relief, with a record of 4-7 and a 4.86 earned run average with five saves in 150 innings pitched.
