Doug Drabek was a very solid starter in the 1980s and 1990s, winning 155 games in a career that spanned 13 seasons. He was an All-Star once and in 1990, he led the league in wins.
A few years ago, I sent him a questionnaire and he graciously filled it out. I thought you might be interested in what he had to say.
(Oh, and for those of you who collect autographs, he is a fantastic signer through the mail).
