Books and articles about Rod Scurry

Scurry had one of the best curveballs of his day, but the ace reliever's career fell apart due to his cocaine habit. His best season was 1982, when he had 14 saves and a 1.74 ERA while going 4-5 for the Pirates.

Scurry pitched a seven-inning minor league no-hitter, beating Richmond 2-0 on July 25, 1977 while with Columbus (International League). His cousin, Joe Rose, was a tight end for the Miami Dolphins. (SFS)
