Rhodes was a staple in the major leagues for twenty seasons both as a relief pitcher and a bedazzled trend-setter -Rhodes played with earnings, and was once prompted to remove them in the middle of a game.
He played for seven different organizations, but only stayed on a club’s roster for more than two years twice. He played his first nine campaigns with the Baltimore Orioles, then his next five seasons with the Mariners.
Over the course of his two decades in the league, Rhodes would be part of a handful of playoff teams. And, in a storybook-like ending to his career, Rhodes’s final relief appearance would be in game seven of the 2011 world series.
