Today's Mail (3): Thursday 1/13/22

Three successes to report: Steve Crawford (3/3), John Friesz (3/3), & Pat Peake (2/2)



A versatile hard-thrower, Steve Crawford filled various relief roles coming out from the bullpen, as a closer or middle reliever, serving as an emergency starter as well. He reached the majors in 1980 with the Boston Red Sox, spending seven years with them before moving to the Kansas City Royals (1989–91). His most productive season came in 1985 with the Red Sox, when he set career-numbers in wins (6), saves (12), strikeouts (58) and innings pitched (91.0). During the 1986 postseason, he went 2–0, including a win in Game 2 of the World Series





John Friesz was the tenth quarterback selected in the 1990 draft, taken in the sixth round (138th overall) by the San Diego Chargers. Other quarterbacks in this draft were Jeff George (#1 overall pick), Heisman Trophy winner Andre Ware, future Super Bowl starter Neil O'Donnell, and Scott Mitchell. He played 11 seasons in the NFL for the Chargers, Washington Redskins, Seattle Seahawks, and New England Patriots. Friesz passed for over 8,600 yards and 45 touchdowns in his professional career.





Pat Peake was drafted 14th overall by the Washington Capitals in the 1991 NHL Entry Draft. He played 134 career NHL games, scoring 28 goals and 41 assists for 69 points. Peake's career was ended prematurely due to several serious injuries.
