beard was the sometimes closer for billy martin's early 80's teams in oakland. he did make 2 starts for them in 1982, and somewhat surprisingly, he didn't complete either one. in the a's 1981 postseason, beard appeared twice - once in the alds against the royals where he pitched 1.1 perfect innings to earn the save in the game 3 clincher, and once in the alcs against the yankees where he gave up 3 runs in two-thirds of an inning in game 2. beard finished his oakland career with an even 16-16 record. in seattle, he won 3 games and saved 5 before moving on to the white sox for the 1985 season.
