PLAY BALL Dan Hirshberg Interviews Darold Knowles & His World Series 1973 Record with Oakland A's!

 It's World Series time of the year and Dan Hirshberg talks with Darold Knowles about his record-setting performance in 1973. What was that record-setting performance? Here's a Jeopardy clue.  While with the Oakland Athletics Knowles did something no other pitcher ever did in a seven game World Series. Beyond his World Series heroics, it is often forgotten that Knowles had a long and successful career as a relief pitcher mainly with the Washington Senators and the Athletics, and then became a successful pitching coach, many years in the Toronto Blue Jays system. With the A's Knowles earned 300 dollars for growing a mustache! More on that and for the answer to our trivia question, listen in!
