Joe Klink

Joseph Charles Klink (born February 3, 1962) is an American former professional baseball pitcher. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1987 to 1996 for the Minnesota Twins, Oakland Athletics, Florida Marlins, and Seattle Mariners. Klink once went 90 consecutive games without allowing a home run, the longest by a left-handed pitcher since at least 1957 and possibly the longest such streak of all time.

Klink attended St. Thomas University. In 1982, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Harwich Mariners of the Cape Cod Baseball League. He was selected by the New York Mets in the 36th round of the 1983 MLB draft. Klink made his major league debut in April 1987, playing in 12 games for the Twins before he was sent back to the minors in June. Minnesota traded him to Oakland for a player to be named later in March 1988. After two seasons with the Athletics, Klink missed 1992 with an elbow injury. He signed a minor league contract with the expansion Marlins in January 1993 and tied with closer Bryan Harvey for the team lead with 59 pitching appearances that season.

Klink is married and has a daughter.
