I have 29 cards of Ricky Bottalico. This one is from 1996 Topps.
Playing career: Ricky Bottalico pitched for twelve seasons
in the major leagues, mostly for the Phillies, for whom he saved 34 games in
back-to-back seasons in 1996 and 1997. Overall, in 562 games, he went 33-42
with 116 saves and a 3.99 ERA.
Where he is now: A Phillies announcer for Comcast SportsNet,
he is also a pitching instructor at AFC Baseball of Cherry Hill.
My memories: Just a fun name to say.
Google Autocomplete results: He is eighth when you type
Ricky Bo, between Ricky Bobby Song and Ricky Bobby Soundtrack, both of which
refer to a movie. There do not appear to be any other prominent Ricky
Bottalicos.
Coming up next: The next profile will be Kent Bottenfield.
