Philip Poole Bradley (born March 11, 1959 in Bloomington, Indiana) is a former Major League Baseball outfielder/designated hitter with an 8 year career from 1983 to 1990. He played for the Seattle Mariners, Baltimore Orioles and Chicago White Sox of the American League and Philadelphia Phillies of the National League. He was elected to the American League All-Star team in 1985. He is currently a Special Assistant to the Executive Director for the Major League Baseball Players Association.[1]
Bradley played high school baseball and football in Macomb, Illinois for the Macomb High Bombers. Their baseball field was recently dedicated in his name. He holds school records for batting average and stolen bases in a single season. He played college football at the University of Missouri and was their starting quarterback from 1978 through 1980. He hit the first night home run (in the first night at-bat) at Wrigley Field on August 8, 1988. The home run was later taken away because the game got rained out before becoming an official game.
On April 29, 1986, Roger Clemens stuck him out as the 20th and final strikeout to set a major league record for strikeouts in a game.
On September 2, 2009, Bradley was named as a volunteer assistant coach for the University of Missouri softball team for the 2009-10 season.
