Back When There Was Baseball: Juan Berenguer

Our guest this week is Juan Berenguer, better known as Senor SmokeEl Gasolino, the Panama Express, or Pancho Villa. Juan was the first Panamanian baseball player to win a World Series, and he won two (Detroit 1984 and Minnesota 1987). He started with the New York Mets in the late 1970s but became an outstanding relief pitcher for the Twins and Braves toward the latter part of his career.
