Bud Black Seattle Mariners 1981
Bud Black needs little introduction. He was a southpaw without especially great stuff, but he had pretty good control and he could get the ground ball when he needed it. He never got a lot of respect, but he had a long and fairly good career with the Royals, Indians, and Giants and subsequently became a manager. Bud came up for a cup of coffee with the 1981 Mariners, but his time in Seattle was so brief that I had given up on finding him and so I suspect had many of you. Well, the other day I was searching for Mariners on Gettyimages when Bud popped up. The photo is a little funny looking and the stadium behind him may just be a backdrop, but since it is Getty I can also presume that the image is genuine.
