Bud Black Gave Up Some Important Homers

Fun Fact of the Day:

Bud Black just got fired as the manager of the San Diego Padres. He is a former major league starter mostly for the Royals. He won 121 career games over 15 years. Many pitchers have been on the wrong side of many historical hits, including Black. Bud was on the mound when Mike Piazza hit his first career home run, then was on the mound when Reggie Jackson hit his 500th. Despite being run down for those mistake pitches, he was an important part of the 1985 Royals’ rotation when they won the franchise’s only ring.
