Extrait : Rik Aalbert "Bert" Blyleven (né le 6 avril 1951 à Zeist, Pays-Bas), est un ancien joueur de baseball ayant évolué au poste de lanceur en Ligue majeure de baseball de 1970 à 1992. Depuis 1996, il est commentateur consultant lors des retransmissions télévisées des rencontres des Twins du Minnesota. Bert Blyleven est né aux Pays-Bas, mais a grandi dans le sud de la Californie. Dans sa jeunesse, il s'intéresse au baseball en regardant Sandy Koufax, le lanceur vedette des Dodgers de Los Angeles. En 1969, il est choisit au troisième tour de la draft par les Twins du Minnesota (55 choix global). Après une saison complète en ligue mineure, il débute sa carrière en Ligue majeure le 5 juin 1970 contre les Senators de Washington par une première victoire. Il termine la saison avec un bilan de 10 victoires pour 9 défaites et le trophée de recrue de l'année décerné par le magazine The Sporting News.
