This native Chicagoan was the White Sox' long man in 1974. For a while, Pitlock's
herky-jerky motion fooled hitters. He allowed the World Champion 1974 A's just one
hit in his 5.1 innings against them, and they demanded his inclusion in a 1975 deal
for Chet Lemon, yet he never played another ML game.
