Player O The Week: Enrique Romo 1978

Vintage Seattle Player O The Week goes to Enrique Romo. He was a Mariner from 1977-1978 before being traded for none other than Mario Mendoza. So, you could call Romo an “enabler.” He pitched just six years in the majors before failing to show up for spring training with the Pirates in 1983. After failed attempts to locate him, he was released. As the Romo Phone Home Blog (Pirate fan site) asks… where are you Enrique Romo ?
He was kidnapped by pirates. The last he was seen was 1995 in a boat on the waters outside Mozambique. He was carrying a mustache groomer and wearing the Mariner hat you see above.
Nice to see “Senor Screwball”!! Guy had a helluva followthrough
