I have thirteen cards of Brad Arnsberg. This one is from 1988 Topps.
Playing career: Brad Arnsberg pitched for the Yankees,
Rangers and Indians from 1986 to 1992. His best season was 1990, when he went
6-1 with 5 saves and a 2.15 ERA for Texas.
Where he is now: A pitching coach for the Marlins, Blue Jays
and most recently Astros, who fired him last June.
My memories: I remember him as a well-regarded Yankee
prospect in the 1980s; one of many who ended up having greater success in
another uniform.
Interesting stories: I wrote to him last year for his
baseball card stories. He declined to participate but wished me good luck on my
project.
Google Autocomplete results: He is fifth when you type Brad
Ar, between Brad Arnold Divorce, referring to the marital problems of the
singer from 3 Doors Down, and Brad Aronstam, an attorney in Delaware. There
don’t appear to be any other prominent Brad Arnsbergs.
Coming up next: The next profile will be Rene Arocha.
