Gregory Michael "The Bull" Luzinski (born on November 22, 1950 in Chicago, Illinois) is a former left fielder in Major League Baseball. He spent the majority of his career with the Philadelphia Phillies (1970-80) and retired as a member of the Chicago White Sox (1981-84), fittingly in the city in which he was born.
At 6'1 and 225 pounds, Luzinski was a well-liked member of the Phillies and a prototypical slugger. Big #19 was a rather menacing sight at the plate and hit a number of tape measure shots throughout his career.
Luzinski was a career .276 hitter with 307 home runs and 1,128 RBIs. He was selected an All-Star between 1975 and 1978.
Still a fan favorite in Philadelphia, he opened "Bull's Barbecue" in the Phillies' newly opened stadium, Citizens Bank Park.
