[edit] Biographical Information

Jim Gott and Tim Teufel were linked in an odd way in the major leagues. "Gott" means "God" in German, while "Teufel" means "Devil" in the same language. Since Jim was a pitcher and Tim was a hitter, and they were mostly in the same league during their careers, that meant God faced the Devil regularly. Although Teufel hit a homer off of Gott early on in their matchups, overall God had more success than the Devil.

After retiring, Teufel joined the Mets organization as a scout in 1998.
