Did you know? One of two pitchers to post 20-victory seasons for both the Angels and the Dodgers, but will forever be remembered for his landmark arbitration victory in 1975, which toppled baseball's antiquated reserve clause and ushered in the free agency era in major league baseball.
Post Game: Coached at Cabrillo Community College (1986-91 and 2005-09) and various youth teams in Santa Cruz, CA. ... was inducted in 1989 into both the UC Berkley Athletic Hall of Fame and the Orange County Hall of Fame.
