63 Year Old Pitcher wins Game

  • Little Danny
    Bill "Spaceman" Lee wins a minor league game at age 63. Looks like he might be the oldest pitcher to ever win a professional game. I doubt I will be able to throw a ball to my grandkids at 63, let alone pitch for six innings at that level.

    Bill Lee is "out there" and this is coming from someone who doesn't think he's exactly playing with a full deck...lol

    While pitching for the Boston Red Sox, Lee threatened to bite an umpire's ear off and encouraged people to write letters demanding a game in the 1975 World Series be replayed. He admitted to smoking weed before games, was a big Greenpeace advocate, favored school busing (very controversial in Boston) and he defended communist China. This guy would have been ESPN's wetdream if he played today.
