[edit] Early life
Mulholland is a 1981 graduate of Laurel Highlands (Pennsylvania) High School. He maintains a strong connection to his high school, where his baseball uniform number has been retired. He attended Marietta College in (Ohio) where he majored in sports medicine and played for legendary NCAA Division III coach Don Schaly. He was a first team All-American his junior season when he was drafted in the first round by the San Francisco Giants. The school's baseball field sits on Mulholland Drive; it was renamed so in 1994 after Mulholland purchased a new lighting system for the field. He has three children with his wife, Kiara.
[edit] Playing career
Mulholland made his Major League debut on June 8, 1986 with the San Francisco Giants. Since then, he has played for eleven different Major League teams: the Giants, the Phillies, the Yankees, the Mariners, the Cubs, the Braves, the Dodgers, the Pirates, the Indians, the Twins, and the Diamondbacks.
He is well-known for having one of the nastiest pickoff moves in the game.[1]
Mulholland is one of the oldest active players. During the 2004 season, when he was paired with catcher Pat Borders, also a long-time veteran, they made up the oldest battery (pitcher/catcher duo) in Major League history.
On June 21, 2006, the Diamondbacks waived Mulholland.
[edit] Career with the Phillies
He pitched a no-hitter for the Phillies against the Giants on August 15, 1990; it was the first no-hitter in Veterans Stadium history. He faced the minimum of 27 batters. The only batter that reached base, on an error by Charlie Hayes, was retired in a double play. The 27th out was made by Hayes with a lunging catch of Gary Carter's line drive down the 3rd base line. The only other no-hitter in Veterans Stadium was thrown by Kevin Millwood on April 27, 2003, also against the Giants.
Mulholland started Game 6 for the Phillies in the 1993 World Series versus the Toronto Blue Jays. This game will always be remembered for Mitch Williams giving up the series-ending home run to Joe Carter.
Mulholland was also the starting pitcher for the National League in the 1993 All-Star Game played at Camden Yards in Baltimore, Maryland.
