(Hall of Fame baseball writer Rick Hummel continues his "Where are they now?" series on former Cardinals.)
Owing, in part, to the fact that his fastball was not very fast, 1990s Cardinals righthander Bob Tewksbury became known as a “Thinking Man’s Pitcher.”
Tewksbury parlayed pinpoint control and acumen into five consecutive double-figure win seasons for the Cardinals. Since then, he has parlayed his intelligence and a master’s degree in sports psychology into a book and a couple of front office jobs, including his current position as senior adviser for mental skills for the Chicago Cubs.
