Q&A with Rawly Eastwick

Rawly Eastwick was drafted by the Reds in 1969, and pitched for them from 1974 – 1977. He led the league in saves in 1975 and 1976 (the only Red to lead the league in consecutive years), and was named the Sporting News NL Fireman of the Year in 1976. He was credited with two wins and a save in the epic 1975 World Series. He retired after the 1981 season and resides in the Boston area. He also survived the great challenge of coaching me at Fantasy Camp. We traded emails for the following interview, which has been lightly edited.
