Jim Kern is a former professional baseball pitcher. With three All-Star appearances from 1977-1979, Kern went went 13–5 with a 1.57 ERA and 29 saves out of the Texas Rangers bullpen in 1979 to finish fourth in American League Cy Young Award balloting. Over a 12 year Major League career, Jim played for the Cleveland Indians, Texas Rangers, Cincinnati Reds, Chicago White Sox, Philadelphia Phillies, and Milwaukee Brewers. Jim is aptly nicknamed Emu and he explains why that moniker fits so well. In 2013, FanGraphs named Kern as the best relief pitcher in baseball history over a given 4-year period of time in their January 25 article "Jim Kern's Four Incredible Seasons." From 1976 to 1979, he won 42 games and registered 75 saves out of the bullpen, and he averaged more than 100 innings per year and 1.88 innings pitched per game appearance.
