About the Back: As you can see, those two shutouts were the only ones Cadaret threw in his career. By the time he wrapped things up in 1998, he'd appeared in 451 games and made just 35 starts.
Triple Play:
1. Greg appeared in three games in the 1988 World Series, totaling two innings of shutout relief.
2. Cadaret allowed three inside-the-park home runs in his career, and Mike Greenwell hit two of them.
3. He has coached and managed for several independent minor league teams, and is now the head coach of the men's baseball team at Simpson University in California.
11-Year-Old Kevin Says: I'm sure I've said something similar before, but there are some guys from this era that I completely lost track of - I can't believe that Cadaret pitched through 1998, pinballing around with six different teams after leaving the Yankees.
Bill James Said: "Do you realize that if his name was L. Cadaret and you spelled it backward, you would have the name of a dinosaur?" Get it? Teradacl = Pterodactyl? Hey, as a kid who loved dinosaurs, I always thought that line was funny.
On This Date in 1993: September 2. Russel B. Nye, an American English professor who pioneered Popular Culture Theory in the 1960s, dies at age 80.
