Bert and Gayle Blyleven, honorary co-chairs

PAM is excited to have Bert and Gayle Blyleven as honorary co-chairs. Bert’s father, Joe, had Parkinson's disease and the Blylevens are committed to raising funds to support finding a cure.

Bert spent 23 years in major league baseball, pitching for the Minnesota Twins and others. He now serves as the color analyst for the Twins broadcasts.

In 2004 PAM joined Bert and Gayle for Bert’s Birthday Party at the Metrodome in Minneapolis, with PAM member Bill Maser throwing out the first pitch. Bert also participated in the 2004 Walk for Parkinson’s Disease and spent hours signing autographs and taking pictures.

In addition to supporting PAM activities, Bert and Gayle raise money for Parkinson’s research through Bert’s website, www.bertblyleven.com.
