I left some detail out about Tunnell's devout religious beliefs. He actually expected to grow up and play with Athletes In Action and never really had major league aspirations. I think Tunnell would be someone interesting to sit down and interview as well as getting some quotes from Chuck Tanner who seemed to really like Tunnell. It sesmed like there was some contention between Tanner and Harding Peterson about Tunnell (well, and how the team should be run in general.) Thanks for the kind words, John. I figure I would throw in something uncontroversial here and there. :)<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1188','Brian Joseph'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('1188','Brian Joseph','Yeah...

One thing that kind of haunted him from the sportswriters in Pittsburgh was that he was too 'soft' for the majors, since he was a very vocal born again Christian. That kind of left him in the minority on that ballclub, to say the least. Jose DeLeon followed his career path by having an even more meteoric rise and fall. I remain convinced to this day that horrible offenses can and do destroy young pitchers confidence. And once that's shot, there really isn't any getting it back. Great article as usual Brian!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1187','John Lease'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('1187','John Lease','I remember Byron Lee Tunnell only too well.
