Juan Pizarro - Return To The Post Season

Return To The Post Season

Pizarro was 2–2 with a 6.56 ERA out of Houston's bullpen in 1973. He was released the following Spring, and rejoined the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Pirates won the National League East by a game and a half over the St. Louis Cardinals, allowing Pizarro to return to the post season for the first time since 1958. His only appearance in the 1974 National League Championship Series came in the fourth game, which the Los Angeles Dodgers won to head to the 1974 World Series.

Famous quotes containing the words return to, return, post and/or season:

    “Each work of art excludes the world, concentrates attention on itself. For the time it is the only thing worth doing—to do just that; be it a sonnet, a statue, a landscape, an outline head of Caesar, or an oration. Presently we return to the sight of another that globes itself into a whole as did the first, for example, a beautiful garden; and nothing seems worth doing in life but laying out a garden.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “It is the secret of the world that all things subsist and do not die, but only retire from sight and afterwards return again.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruel—not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.”
    —Clara Barton (1821–1912)

    “Life contracts and death is expected,
    As in a season of autumn.
    The soldier falls.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
