Jim Corsi, a right-handed relief pitcher, spent over a decade in Major League Baseball, showcasing his skills across several teams. Born on September 9, 1961, in Newton, Massachusetts, Corsi's journey to the majors began after he was drafted by the New York Yankees in the 25th round of the 1982 amateur draft. However, it wasn't with the Yankees that he made his MLB debut.

Corsi's first appearance in the major leagues came with the Oakland Athletics in 1988. During his time with the Athletics, he became part of a bullpen that supported the team during its successful late-1980s run. The Athletics won the World Series in 1989, and although Corsi did not pitch in the postseason, he contributed during the regular season, helping the team secure its place in the playoffs.

After his stint with the Athletics, Corsi moved to the Houston Astros in 1991. His time with the Astros was brief, and he soon found himself with the Florida Marlins in 1993. The Marlins were a new expansion team at the time, and Corsi was part of their inaugural roster. His experience was valuable to the fledgling team, and he provided stability in their bullpen during their first season.

Corsi's career continued as he joined the Boston Red Sox in 1997. Playing for the Red Sox was a homecoming of sorts, as he returned to his native Massachusetts. During his tenure with the Red Sox, Corsi became a reliable option out of the bullpen, known for his ability to handle pressure situations and deliver consistent performances. His time in Boston was marked by his steady presence and ability to adapt to various roles as needed by the team.

In 1999, Corsi signed with the Baltimore Orioles, where he played his final season in the majors. Throughout his career, Corsi was known for his effective use of a slider and a fastball, which he used to keep hitters off balance. His ability to pitch in different situations made him a valuable asset to the teams he played for.
