Thoughts: What a gem Ricky was. I would venture a guess that nobody outside of Brewer die-hards even remembers this. He had a long mane of hair, a pencil-thin stache and a penchant for sucking. Only once in his career did he win more games than he lost and he enjoyed five double-digit loss season. He did make an all-star team, but he never saw the field.
