Two Cy Young Awards, three All-Star selections, and a World Series MVP later, Rising Apple had the opportunity to interview former New York Mets pitcher Bret Saberhagen.
Arguably one of the greatest pitchers during his era, Saberhagen led the Royals to their first world series title in 1985 and was named World Series MVP after he pitched a shutout Game 7 against the St. Louis Cardinals. Following the season, he was named the American League Cy Young winner.
These incredible feats were done in just his second Major League season. After his magical ’85 season, where he went 20-6,” Sabes” had established himself as a true ace in the major leagues.
