I have five cards of Chad Bradford. This one is from 2003 Topps.
Playing career: Chad Bradford was one of the more prominent
middle relievers of the 2000’s. In 561 games he went 36-28 with 11 saves and a
3.26 ERA. He pitched in the postseason for five different teams (White Sox,
A’s, Red Sox, Mets and Rays) between 2000 and 2008, allowing just one earned
run in 23.1 innings. He was a prominent figure in the Moneyball book and movie.
Where he is now: An assistant coach at Hinds Community College in Mississippi.
My memories: I remember him before the Moneyball hoopla being known as the pitcher with the most extreme
submarine motion in the majors – you would see a lot of pictures of him with
his knuckles almost scraping the mound as he delivered.
Coming up next: The next profile will be Larry Bradford.
