The O's had a really good bullpen in the early 70's with Grant and Eddie Watt. It's just that with Palmer, McNally, Cuellar and Dobson they hardly ever needed relievers. When he went to the Pirates, he was more of a 1 inning guy with Tekulve and Enrique Romo doing most of the heavy lifting, but they made a pretty solid bullpen, too.<BR/><BR/>Grant's also made quite a career of being a minor league pitching coach the last 25 years.MMayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09893007769493689849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6273294324760825141.post-44710667202983975442009-03-25T11:32:00.000-04:002009-03-25T11:32:00.000-04:00Grant Jackson is also depicted as a Mariner on hi...Grant Jackson is also depicted as a Mariner on his 1977 Topps card, but he never played for the Mariners.<BR/><BR/>I always thought Jackson was cool for some unknown reason.
