Lost Pirate: Bill Landrum
This week's Lost Pirate comes to us from the golden days of the Leyland era. Bill Landrum was signed after the 1988 off-season for the paltry salary of $75,000. The then 31 year old journeyman had nothing in his background that would hint at the type of success he would have with the Pirates.
Landrum exploded on the scene in '89, turning in one of the finest seasons in relief the franchise has ever seen. He finished with 26 saves and a 1.67 era in 81 innings as a replacement for the injured Jim Gott.
Landrum went on to have 2 more fine seasons as part-time closer while the Pirates slowly phased in ill-fated closer of the future, Stan Belinda.
Landrum was cut in spring training prior to the '92 season, and was signed by the Expos. He completely fell apart after leaving the Bucs and would only pitch another 42 innings in his career.
Though his stay with the team was short, I'll always remember the straight over-the-top delivery and the huge wad of tobacco.
