Autograph Of The Week: Rick Rhoden

On May 28, 1986, Joe Cowley of the Chicago White Sox set a Major League record by striking out the first seven batters he faced. He lasted only four and two-thirds innings in a 6-3 loss to the Texas Rangers and finished the season eleven and eleven.
"It was the toughest thing I ever did (pitching the day he learned his brother died in a car accident), but the truth is, I never really considered not pitching." - Rick Rhoden
