Episode Details

Steve Bedrosian’s 1987 season with the Phillies was legendary—he posted a 2.83 ERA, led the league with 40 saves, and won the Cy Young Award as a reliever. After overcoming injuries, a brutal trade, and a slow start, he turned it around in May with a 19-for-20 save streak, helping Philly win 45 of their 80 games. He even stole the spotlight in his only All-Star appearance with a jaw-dropping defensive play. Though his career had ups and downs—including breaking the Phillies’ saves record, being traded again, and battling personal struggles like his son’s leukemia—he capped it off with a World Series ring in ’92 and a comeback season in ’93. Still third all-time in saves for Philly, Bedrosian’s story proves that greatness often blooms after the toughest setbacks.
