Lary broke into the big leagues a year after being drafted by the Brewers out of Michigan and in his first full season, in 1978, was an All-Star and 18-game winner. He was traded by Milwaukee to St. Louis in the famous deal that sent Rollie Fingers, Ted Simmons and Pete Vukovich to the American League, where they would help the Crew reach the post-season in 1981-82. From there, Lary spent time with the Indians, A's, Cubs, Expos and Giants before retiring with 93 wins, 235 games started and a career ERA of 4.15. He quickly found success as a broadcaster with ESPN and the Tigers before some personal issues took him away from the game until he resurfaced calling Wake Forest football and baseball games. An interesting journey with someone who lived through the 1981 baseball strike as well as being involved now in the analytics side of the game.
Hope you enjoy!
