It is Pat Hentgen’s 56th birthday today. Pat will always be one of my favourite Blue Jays. He was the Cy Young winner in 1996, going 20-10 with a 3.22 ERA and pitching an outstanding 265.2 innings. He won the award on this day in 1996, a terrific birthday present. Wouldn’t having a starter throw 250 innings or more be nice? He also made 4 All-Star teams. And he has two World Series rings. He didn’t pitch in the 1992 playoffs, but he had a win in the 1993 World Series against the Phillies.
After three seasons, he returned to the Jays for one last season and retired. He was 131-112 with 1 4.32 ERA in 344 games, 306 starts, and a 33.0 bWAR. He talked to us. The interview is divided into five parts: one, two, three, four, and five. Pat has kept in the organization. He was bullpen coach in 2011, then left after the season for family reasons, and then did that job again in 2013. He did a few innings in the TV broadcast booth a few years back. He did an excellent job.
