Tim Leary was born on Tuesday, December 23, 1958, in Santa Monica, California. Leary was 22 years old when he broke into the big leagues on April 12, 1981, with the New York Mets. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Tim Leary baseball stats page.
"On a gloriously bright Sunday afternoon in the middle of his championship season—one that never ends—Tim Leary is playing catch with a Dodger. Only, it's a 6-year-old named Dodger Rios. They are playing in a crowded park on a strip of grass between a barbecue and a softball game. Leary is being paid $20. 'You can't make this stuff up,' he says. Leary sits on an upside-down plastic bucket. He wears a polo shirt adorned with the name of a healthcare company. His head is squeezed into a catcher's mask. He looks like just another middle-aged man giving a baseball lesson until, during a water break, he casually pulls off his faded catcher's mitt. On his bare left hand sits the difference in this lesson, the definition of his life, a sparkling blue 1988 Dodgers World Series ring, Leary glows. Dodger's dad swoons. 'I can't believe he's doing this,' Robert Rios says. 'I can't believe Tim Leary, world champion pitcher, has time to teach my little boy how to pitch.'" - Columnist Bill Plaschke in The Los Angeles Times (07/28/2013, 'For Tim Leary Dodgers' 1988 championship season never ends', Source)
