Former Phillies with the Pirates: Current Pirates' manager John Russell (1984-1988) is in his second year as the team's manager. His pitching coach Joe Kerrigan (2003-2004) spent a tumultuous tenure as the Phils' pitching coach during the Larry Bowa era, as did bench coach Gary Varsho (1995 as a player, 2002-2006 as a coach). Jason Jaramillo never played with the big club, but he spent his formative years in the Phils' minor league system before his trade to the Pirates this past off-season for Ronny Paulino. Phillies Room favorite Kent Tekulve (1985-1988) is listed on the Pirates' website as their President of the Pirates Alumni Association. Finally, former pitcher Bob Walk (1980) is in his 15th season behind the microphone for Pirates' radio broadcasts.
