Excerpt: Rickey Eugene Reuschel (pronounced RUSH-el) (born May 16, 1949 in Quincy, Illinois) is a former professional baseball pitcher from the early 1970s into the late 1980s. His nickname was "Big Daddy" because of his portly physique. He was known for his deceptive style of pitching, which kept hitters off balance by constantly varying the speeds of his pitches. Reuschel was listed as 6-foot-4 and 225 pounds, which made him a few pounds heavier than his franchise-mate from two generations earlier, Hippo Vaughn. Reuschel could run surprisingly well for his size and he was frequently used as a pinch runner on days he was not pitching. He was also a fair - though awkward-looking - hitter, batting well over .200 several times. His older brother Paul Reuschel also pitched for the Cubs for a few years while Reuschel was pitching, but was not nearly as effective as his younger brother and his career was much shorter. Both of them were Illinois farm boys, with strong physiques and plain-spoken ways. The two are the only siblings to combine on a shutout. On August 21, 1975, Rick started and went 6 1/3 against the Los Angeles Dodgers, followed by Paul, who pitched the final 2 2/3 for the Cubs' 7-0 win. Reuschel began his Major League Baseball career when he was drafted in the third round of the 1970 amateur draft by the Chicago Cubs, at a time when they were declining in the post-Durocher era, and provided a strong arm for the Cubs' increasingly mediocre staff. After spending two years in the minor leagues, he joined the Cubs' major league team in 1972. His best season was in 1977, when the Cubs made a brief run at the pennant.
