The highlighted Midwest League Alum from last night's game in Philadelphia is Tampa Bay Rays pitching coach Jim Hickey.
Why does this deserve a post to itself?
Jim Hickey's time in the Midwest League was spent with the Appleton Foxes. He was a member for the 1984 Midwest League Champions.
Not sure why he is listed twice as a member of the Foxes in '84 at The Baseball Cube page. But, the stats from his bio page at the Rays site show him as 13-5 with 20 saves and an ERA of 1.81 in 49 relief appearances. He struck out 96 in 99-1/3 innings pitched with the Foxes.
This is something I should have picked up on much earlier.
