I have 64 cards of Chris Bosio. This one is from 1994 Leaf.
Playing career: Chris Bosio pitched for the Brewers and
Mariners from 1986 to 1996. In 309 games he went 94-93 with a 3.96 ERA. In 1993
he no-hit the Red Sox in one of his first games as a Mariner.
Where he is now: Pitching coach for the Chicago Cubs.
Interesting facts: He likes to floor it on the road, and
thus is a regular in the traffic court in his Wisconsin home town. The website
freecourtdocket.com lists at least three occasions between 2010 and 2012 where
he was ticketed for speeding and found guilty.
My memories: I remember him as a solid if unspectacular
pitcher for many years. No specific memories.
Google Autocomplete results: He is first when you type Chris
Bosi, ahead of Chris Bosh, Miami Heat star. Another prominent Chris Bosio is
International Trade Manager at the Michigan Economic Development Corporation.
Coming up next: The next profile will be Shawn Boskie.
In the late 1980s, Bosio was often mistaken by little kids for Joey Meyer. Both of them were hefty, tall guys who wore mustaches/goatees, so it was an easy mistake to make. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Bosio did not appreciate that.
