There was a commercial in the 1970s for Rolaids (antacid relief) which went viral: How do you spell relief? R-O-L-A-I-D-S. In 1976, Rolaids sponsored the Rolaids Relief Man awarded to the best relief pitcher in Major League Baseball. Our guest this week altered the commercial slogan which went, How do you spell relief: T-O-M-H-U-M-E. Tom Hume pitched in the Majors from 1977-1987. In the late 1970s through the early 1980s, Tom was one of the best closers in the game. He wasn't the hardest throwing relief pitcher, but he knew how to get guys out, which is the most essential part of pitching. Join us as we go Back When There Was Baseball to the cities of Cincinnati and Philadelphia with our guest, Tom Hume.
