Description
As the A’s prepare to retire his jersey, pitcher Dave “Smoke” Stewart takes Jared on a trip back to the start of his illustrious career. Stewart spent years in the minors tweaking his pitch before the Dodgers promoted him to the big leagues in 1981. His accolades include 3 World Series championships, 3 MVP awards, and the prestigious Roberto Clemente Award, which he received in 1990 after pitching a no-hitter - the first black player to do so since Jim Bibby in 1973.
