In July of 1987, 40 year old relief pitcher Kent Tekulve made his 900th mound appearance, becoming just the 5th pitcher to do so. ‘Teke’ would go on to appear in 1,050 games before his career was over in 1989. He holds the records for game appearances and innings pitched without ever having been given the nod as the starter.
Happy Birthday Kent Tekulve!
