Today on the blog we'll go ahead and give former reliever Phil
Regan a 1973 "career-capper" to celebrate a nice 13-year Big League
tenure:
Regan split the 1972 season with the
Chicago Cubs and crosstown Chicago White Sox, appearing in 15 games and
going 0-2 with a 3.63 earned run average in 17.1 innings.
He
would have a couple of incredible seasons on a Big League mound,
particularly his 1966 campaign with the Los Angeles Dodgers when he
posted a record of 14-1 with a sparkling 1.62 ERA over 116.2 innings,
leading the National League with 21 saves, helping L.A. go to the World
Series.
Two years later, splitting the year with the Dodgers
and Cubs, he'd post a record of 12-5 with a 2.27 ERA over 134.2 innings,
leading the league once again in saves, this time with 25.
By
the time he retired, he appeared in 551 games between 1960 and 1972,
finishing with a record of 96-81, with a 3.84 ERA over 1372.2 innings,
saving 92 games.
Not too shabby!
