True, but they can hit.

Reminds me of the 70's Sox. Great offense, bad pitching.

Don Zimmer?

But yeah, Yaz and Lee were about as opposite as 2 guys can be.

Bernie Carbo disliked Zim intensely.

Nobody hated Bill Lee more than Yaz.

When Lee gave up that blooper pitch homer to Perez in the 75 WS, if Yaz had been armed, he would have shot Lee dead.

It's the Sox. Of course it's serious.

Do our players ever come off the IL?

It's usually month to month.

I wonder if the Sox medical staff is running secret experiments on them?

Some are on the IL so long that you forget they're still on the team. Sometimes you forget their names entirely.

Lee and Carbo were two members of the Loyal Order of the Buffalo Heads, who’s sole purpose was to mock Zimmer and his decisions.  There were 3 or 4 other guys as well.  The group lasted maybe 2 years with all of them traded or otherwise moved from the club.

Stay out, Jerk.

No thanks

I was going to join in to your name calling contest but decided that I’m better than that. You should try to be too. Childish name calling really has no place here.

Jim Willoughby was another one..

Don Zimmer was the reason that ballplayers were required to wear helmets at the plate.

He was also the first 3rd baseman for the Mets.

Yaz reportedly begged Zimmer to start Lee instead of Sprowl in a key Yankee series, but Zimmer’s hatred for Lee prevailed.

Contreras needs to be put on tranquilizers.
