Name this Hall of Fame pitcher who came through the Eastern League twice. As a player, he went 5-9 with a 3.49 ERA in 20 appearances for the 1952 Williamsport Tigers, and exactly twenty years later he managed the Reading Phillies to a 70-69 record in his first season at the helm. But the general public possibly knows him best by the jobs he won in 1986, 1988, 1990, 1992, 1994, 1996, 1998, and 2004.
