1986 Spokane Indians at the mall - Doug Brocail

  

Doug Brocail poses with some men's casual fashions at one of the 12 clothing stores or 3 department stores at the mall.

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. After his playing career he was a pitching coach for the Rangers and Orioles. He appears to now be retired.

  1. Not a bad career, all things considered.

  2. Wow. Never heard of the guy, but the fact that he had baseball cards being made for him in the mid 80's... and he finished his career at the MLB level in 2009 is pretty darn impressive.
