'Rags' was both a top starting pitcher and relief pitcher over his Yankee career between 1979--1990. Among the highlights of his pitching career includes the 1981 Rookie of the Year Award as well as pitching a no-hitter on July 4th of 1983.
More recently, Righetti has been the long time pitching coach of the San Francisco Giants. Much like Tony LaRussa and Dave Duncan were inseparable, the same is true for Bruce Bochy and Righetti.
The baseball quote recalls his days as a starting pitcher with the Yankees.
"He's got Hall of Fame stuff. He has simply everything you look for in a pitcher, arm. motion, makeup."--Clyde King, on Righetti
