Dave Dravecky was a left-handed pitcher born in Youngstown, Ohio on February 14, 1956. He had a passion for baseball since childhood, and his talent on the field earned him a spot on the team at the University of Pacific in Stockton, California. In 1978, he was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates and made his Major League debut on June 15, 1982, in a game against the New York Mets. Dravecky played for several teams throughout his career, including the San Diego Padres and the San Francisco Giants, where he had some of his best performances. He had a solid fastball and a sweeping curveball, which he used effectively to strike out batters. More about Dave Dravecky

Dravecky's baseball career faced a significant challenge in 1988 when he was diagnosed with cancer in his pitching arm. He underwent surgery and chemotherapy, but when he returned to the Giants in 1989, he amazed the world by throwing a complete-game shutout. Sadly, just a few months later, in August of that year, Dravecky suffered a devastating injury during a game against the Montreal Expos, where he broke his humerus while pitching. He tried to come back to baseball after extensive surgery and rehabilitation, but he eventually decided to retire in 1991, citing the risk of further injury.In total, we tracked 737 items since 01/01/2008.
