Bill Lee Signs with the Rox

[a700hitter]

You have to admire his love for the game. He's 63 years old and still tossing 200 innings a year. He was a fierce competitor which belied his pacifist nature. He was also a flat out Yankee killer which is why Nettles cheap shotted him twice in the 1976 brawl, injuring his arm and ruining his career. That was the only way Nettles could hit him. If Nettles brought 2 bats to home plate (both caulked because Nettles was also a cheater), he still wouldn't have hit Lee. I am surprised that Lee has a franchise record. The article claims that he has the Red Sox record for games pitched by a lefty.

Publicity stunt, sure, but still kinda neat. Like when Oil Can signed with the Rox a few years back. It'll get some asses in the seats if he actually pitches.

Bill originally said that he thought Mickey Rivers was twisting his arm around when he was down on the ground ... and that compounded things.

Yeah, thanks! I wish baseball had more real brawls, not all the time but like once a year.

What else you got?

Probably every bit of useless information about baseball from 1967-79.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Probably every bit of useless information about baseball from Negro leagues(1920) - present.
