Sparky Lyle was one of the greatest relief pitchers in baseball history. In 16 years in the big leagues, the 1977 American League Cy Young Award winner made 899 appearances, all out of the bullpen, saved 238 games and had a career ERA of 2.88. He spent parts of three seasons with the Phillies, including 1980 when they won the World Series. After his playing days, he spent 15 years as the manager of the Somerset Patriots, then of the independent Atlantic League. In Episode #99 of “1-on-1 with Matt Leon,” Matt catches up with Lyle to look back on his life in baseball, talk about his time with the Phillies and much, much more. "1-on-1 with Matt Leon" is a KYW Newsradio original podcast. Follow the show on Twitter: @1on1pod, and follow Matt: @MattLeon1060.

I sat down with 3x All-Star, 2x World Series Champion, and 1st AL-Cy Young winning relief pitcher at TD Bank Ballpark, home of the Somerset Patriots. We talked about:- Coming up through the Red Sox organization- Baseball legend Ted Williams as a catalyst for learning his most prominent pitch: the slider.- Entrance songs (Pomp &amp; Circumstance... really?)- Reflecting on the dominance of Mariano Rivera- The best pranks he pulled in the clubhouse, and the best prank pulled AGAINST him.- The legacy of Thurman Munson, his catcher- Managing the Somerset Patriots,- How the game of baseball has evolved with respect to the role of the closer.- Ends with karaoke-style, complete the lyrics of The Eagles
