Grant Jackson Finds New Life With Orioles
Grant Jackson, traded from the Phillies to Baltimore for Roger Freed, says the Orioles' atmosphere is like turning a light on. He was unhappy in Philadelphia over limited playing time and a 5-15 record, and now pitches as a spot starter and long reliever behind McNally Palmer Cellar and Dobson. He recalls friction with Frank Lucchesi and notes his racing against time to prove himself in Baltimore. Jim Hutto moved in the same deal, and Jackson now faces quicker hooks from his new manager.
