[edit] Biographical Information

Ted Power had a long major league baseball career although he started out in the crowded Los Angeles Dodgers minor league system. He was drafted in the 5th round in 1976, and would not make his first appearance in the majors until 1981. The Dodgers won the 1981 World Series, but Power did not appear. He had also gone 18-3 in 1981 for the Albuquerque Dukes, a team full of future major leaguers.

Traded to the Cincinnati Reds in 1983, he would spend several years pitching under manager Pete Rose (1984-87), and then became a journeyman, pitching for seven teams in his last six years.

He was primarily a starter from 1987-89, but otherwise mostly a reliever. He led the league in appearances in 1984.
