"One of the American League's top left-handed relief pitchers has long been Grant Jackson, a veteran of 11 big league seasons, five and a half of which were spent with the Orioles, where he was a major asset in recent Baltimore successes. The 33-year-old native of Ohio has a lifetime ERA of 2.67 in the American League entering this season.
Grant, or 'Buck' as he's known to teammates, was originally a starting pitcher with the Philadelphia Phillies. He was a member of the 1969 National League All-Star team when he won 14 games for the Phils. He now joins Sparky Lyle in giving the Yankees probably the best one-two lefty punch out of the bullpen in baseball."
