Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"Randy Lerch is not exactly a household name. He pitched for the Philadelphia Phillies during one of their most prolific eras when they won the National League East four times from 1976-80 and the World Series for the first time ever in 1980... It was a wild and wooly period in Major League Baseball rife with the use of amphetamines and cocaine. Lerch was right in the middle of it, as he explains in his recent expose of an independently published book entitled, God in the Bullpen. It’s perhaps the greatest tell-all baseball book since the late Jim Bouton wrote Ball Four in 1970." - Bloom, Barry M. Forbes: Former Phillies Pitcher Randy Lerch Tells All About His Addictions In New Book. 9 May 2020.

Randy Louis Lerch was a Major League Baseball player who pitched for the Philadelphia Phillies (1975-1980), Milwaukee Brewers (1981-1982), Montreal Expos (1982-1983), San Francisco Giants (1983-1984), and Philadelphia Phillies (1986).

On June 24, 1926, Jack Knight hit two home runs in a game. Why mention this here? Knight was the first Phillies pitcher with a multi-homer game, a rare feat duplicated by Phil Collins (1930), Rick Wise (twice in 1971), Larry Christenson (1976), and Randy Lerch — on September 30, 1978, in the second to last game of the season, which also happened to be when Philadelphia clinched the East Division!
