I was just getting into baseball when he started pitching for Detroit - I only remember his curly hair and he was kinda goofy - but that's all I remember..............
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
He was a super pitcher. Detroit just over pitched him and left him in the finish too many games. He talked to the ball and looked like Big Bird on the mound. I saw him pitch in Oakland and yjr park was almost sold out too. He was one of a kind ballplayer and was really good.
