# Gaylord Perry
On May 6, 1982, Gaylord Perry got credited with his 300th career victory. It was the first time since 1963 that a pitcher reached that milestone.
#264 Dan Quisenberry
Allowing 3 baserunners in 4 innings of relief work that stretches into the 10th inning, is just the kind of thing that gets you called Peggy Fleming. Wait, huh? Peggy Fleming? Yep. Peggy Fleming.
#288 Gary Templeton
May 4, 1982, Gary Templeton was 2-for-3, with a walk, 2 RBI, and 2 R. His two hits were both for extra bases – a double and a homer. All this helped his Padres beat the Expos and gain a game on the 1st place Braves in the NL West.
#8 Rich Dauer
2-for-3 with a walk, Rich Dauer got the party started early in Baltimore on May 3, 1982 with a 2-run homer in the 1st. He’d slap a RBI single in 5th too. The O’s beat the M’s 6-0 that day.
#605 Steve Rogers
If you were an Expos fan in ’82, you probably still think Rogers was dissed and cheated out of the Cy Young award.
#440 Jeff Burroughs
Perennially inconsistent Jeff Burroughs, was a decent pick-up for the A’s in ’82.
#683 Phil Garner
Despite the airbrushing, Garner looks pretty happy here. Always loved it when a player looks like he was enjoying his life, ’cause if you’re playing baseball for a living then you really have no excuse to be in a bad mood. Phil “scrap iron” Garner is another one of those guys who came to the [...]
#318 Mike Heath
Mike Heath started a 9th inning rally to help lift the A’s over the O’s, 9-6, on April 30th, 1982. Overall, his day was a fine 3-for-4 effort with a stolen base.
#44 Britt Burns
April 28, 1982, Britt Burns lost a close one to the Brewers, 2-1. After this point, he wouldn’t quite pitch as well as he did for the past 2+ years.
#289 Bob Stanley
April 27, 1982, Bob Stanley tosses 5 innings in relief, allowing only 3 baserunners, to help Boston extend their win streak to 8 games.
#525 Ray Knight
April 26, 1982, Ray Knight slams a 2-run homer in the 1st, to open the scoring in an Astros victory over the St Louis Cardinals.
#575 Al Cowens
Al Cowens 2.7 bWAR in ’82, placed him as the best non-pitching Mariner of the season. He was bought from the Tigers in late March, and looked like a bust into mid-May, but then he turned on the heat.
#247 Pedro Guerrero
On this day, 30 years ago, Pedro Guerrero went 2-for-5 with a HR and 5 RBI, to help the Dodgers get up to the .500 mark by beating their rival Giants.
#587 Tim Lollar
In any other season, the Brave’s 13 game win streak would have them running away with the division. Not this year though. The Padres were riding an eight game win streak into Atlanta. The Padres, only 3.5 GB of the Braves, trotted Tim Lollar to the mound. He made it really tough for the Braves [...]
#763 Tom Hume
Like a true fireman, Tom entered the game in the bottom of the 7th, with one out and the bases loaded, to hold a 1-run lead. His job – to halt the Braves historic win streak.
