Claims to Fame:
-The Giants traded fellow MPot80s Vida Blue to the Royals in 1982 for Laskey and clean-shaven but wonderfully named Atlee Hammaker

-Named to Baseball Digest’s 1982 Rookie All-Star Team for his 13-12/3.14 ERA first Major League season

-Alongside Hammaker, prematurely compared to Koufax/Drysdale, apparently another “Fire & Ice” duo, though neither Hall of Famer could “twitch his dark mustache and sneer at the batter” like Laskey

-His legendary exploits inspired a venerable Saturday Night Live sketch, with names slightly changed for legal reasons

-In retirement, has founded Celebrity Connection, a company that organizes fantasy camps for the Giants and other organizations. And yes, he’s still got the mustache!
