A durable and resilient right-handed pitcher, Bill Gullickson carved out a notable 14-season career in Major League Baseball from 1979 to 1994, overcoming a diabetes diagnosis early in his professional journey. Beginning his career with the Montreal Expos, Gullickson quickly made a name for himself, finishing as the runner-up for the National League Rookie of the Year in 1980, a season highlighted by a then-record 18-strikeout game for a rookie. He was a consistent presence in the Expos' rotation for seven seasons before shorter stints with the Cincinnati Reds and New York Yankees.
