Visited Annapolis with another Illinois player as a high school student and got a look-see as a football player from Navy assistant coach Lombardi. Ordered by Bobby Bragan to throw a spitter in a 1965 game with the Braves, then Bragan had him explain to Howard Cosell on national television the next night how he did it. Claimed to have never gotten a close strike call again. Was honored as Red Sox Good Guy of the Year at the sportswriters banquet one year. While playing in California, Boston and Milwaukee would sell White Sox season tickets in off-season. Had an unusual pitching motion that won praise from T.S. Williams for its deceptive nature. Is said to have once held a sportswriter upside down by his ankles from a hotel window.OsinskiForevernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766775162963853142.post-57092478925553246882010-03-25T18:55:06.229-04:002010-03-25T18:55:06.229-04:00Ya know... his face on this card looks a lot like ...Ya know... his face on this card looks a lot like my March Madness bracket.
