Recounting the time Al Leiter threw 163 pitches in one game

That's a lot of pitches.

Last week, we talked about one of the weirdest pitching lines in Yankees' history. This week, it's time to learn about another--only this one happened far more recently.

Today, Al Leiter is known to most Yankees' fans as a YES Network broadcaster. He had two stints with the Yankees, bookending his career. He was a second round pick by the Yankees in the 1984 draft. By 1987, he had worked his way through the minors and made his debut on September 15th of that year. He made four starts that season and 15 more in 1988.
