I have eight cards of Doug Brocail. This one is from 1993 Donruss.
Playing career: Reliever Doug Brocail pitched for the
Padres, Astros and Tigers from 1992 to 2000, at which point he suffered an
elbow injury that knocked him out of the major leagues for three years. An
initial misdiagnosis of the injury led Brocail to unsuccessfully sue the
Tigers. He made a comeback with the Rangers in 2004 and stayed in the majors
through the 2009 season. Overall in 626 major league games he was 52-48 with
nine saves and an ERA of 4.00.
Where he is now: Special Assistant to the General Manager
& Special Pitching Advisor for the Houston Astros.
My memories: Only know him from his card.
Google Autocomplete results: He is tenth when you type Doug
Bro, behind Doug Brown Lazard, a banker who used to be at Lazard. There do not
appear to be any other prominent Doug Brocails.
Coming up next: The next profile will be Greg Brock.
