He pitched in college for Parsons College and Millersville State College and was drafted by the Cubs in the 10th round of the 1969 draft. His best season came in 1975, when he served as the A's secondary closer behind Rollie Fingers and went 8-3 with 12 saves and a 2.29 ERA, all career bests. He drew five votes on the American League MVP ballot for the division champions. He pitched in each game of the ALCS, which Oakland lost to the Boston Red Sox.
