I have eleven cards of Joe Beckwith. This one is from 1985 Fleer.
Playing career: Joe Beckwith pitched for the Dodgers and
Royals from 1979 to 1986. In 229 games he went 18-19 with 7 saves and a 3.54
ERA. A fuller account of his career can be found at the 1985 Topps blog.
My memories: He is from before my time. Only know him from
his card.
Where he is now: After his retirement he has spent over 25
years in the ready mix concrete business.
Google Autocomplete results: He is eighth when you type Joe
Bec, between Joe Becwar, an executive coach, and Joe Beck Mafia, referring to a
narcotics trafficker. Another prominent Joe Beckwith is a movie production
accountant.
Coming up next: The next profile will be Erik Bedard.
Beckwith was an early Dodger favorite of mine. Thanks for the link!
