Never enjoyed seeing the A's face off against Quisenberry... but always enjoyed watching him take everyone else down. I always tried to imitate that crazy sidearm pitching motion he had.

One of the most underrated players in baseball history.

No doubt... between 1980 and 1985, he was the premiere relief pitcher. He won 5 Rolaids Relief Awards in 6 years... insane!
