Tim Burke

Timothy Philip Burke

Tim was a fine pitcher who took over briefly as the closer for the Expos after the departure of Jeff Reardon. He was also a fine man, who chose to retire and concentrate on his family, when he could easily have spent several more years collecting hundreds of thousands of dollars at the major-league level. Pictured here is an autographed card from the 1988 Fleer set. Another nice Tim Burke piece is pictured below.
