December twenty seventh, 2022
There are three constants in life: Death, taxes and “Spaceman” Bill Lee taking the mound. Yes, the person who as soon as left his staff in anger to seize a beer and confirmed up once more within the eighth inning (we’ll get to that in a bit), continues to be on the market to this present day, hucking the horsehide in any city and on any subject that can let him.
An iconoclast when he performed, and maybe the baseball flake to finish all baseball flakes, Lee hasn’t modified a bit since his ultimate large league pitch. As he famous in 2016, he cuts his personal firewood, does not use gasoline or fossil fuels, eats solely inside 15 miles of his home and turns over his potato patch with nothing however a shovel.
Of course, we must always maybe hearken to what he advised a sure journal dedicated to a sure substance that’s authorized solely in a handful of states again in 1980: “Believe nothing of what you hear and only half of what you see.”
We’ll do our greatest to wade by way of the truths and half-fictions and see the place we find yourself. To have fun his birthday, these are seven notable moments in Lee’s profession and life:
1. The pitching There could also be solely a small handful of ballplayers with a character like Lee’s ever to play the sport, however even fewer had his skill on the sphere. After breaking into the Majors as a 22-year-old with the Red Sox in 1969, he grew to become a trusted reliever for the staff over the following 4 seasons. But Lee — armed with a sinker, overhand curve, screwball, slider and four-seam fastball — received his first brush with stardom in 1973. Pushed into the rotation, Lee made a direct impression.
That season, the southpaw from Burbank, Calif., who shortly grew to become a New Englander at coronary heart, went 17-11 with a 2.75 ERA and was invited to his first — and solely — All-Star Game.
He repeated the efficiency the next season, wracking up a 17-15 file regardless of main the Major Leagues in hits allowed. The 12 months after, he went 17-9 and even obtained an MVP vote. If you are scoring at dwelling, that is three consecutive 17-win seasons. Since he left the Red Sox, no Boston left-hander has achieved even two non-consecutive 17-win campaigns. Eduardo Rodriguez, Chris Sale, Drew Pomeranz and David Price all did it simply as soon as.
That could be the excessive level of Lee’s profession as accidents — together with one suffered throughout a combat towards the Yankees — took their toll. But he pitched for an additional 4 years with the Red Sox earlier than becoming a member of the Expos in 1979, the place he received 16 video games with a 3.04 ERA. He additionally performed an essential function as a swingman on the ’81 staff — the lone season that Montreal performed within the postseason.
2. The eephus Lee might have had different choices, however his most well-known was eephus, or “Leephus.” In a sport the place pitchers are normally trying to find each further little bit of oomph to get on their fastballs or each inch of chew on their sliders, Lee’s signature providing seemed extra like he was floating a package deal of hamburger buns to a pal on the annual barbecue.
Unfortunately for the Spaceman, his signature pitch was additionally hammered on the very worst time: He was on the mound in Game 7 of the 1975 World Series when the Reds’ Tony Perez deposited his floater over the Green Monster. The Red Sox had been main 3-0 on the time and would go on to lose, 4-3.
Unfortunately, this was one of many occasions that Lee ought to have listened to his teammates.
“We made it pretty clear to Bill that Tony was to see none of those pitches, period,” backup catcher Bob Montgomery mentioned. “In Game 2, Lee threw one to Perez and he took the pitch. And I remember thinking to myself, ‘Don’t do that again.'”
Years later, Lee’s eephus went Hollywood as he taught the pitch to actor Josh Duhamel in the course of the capturing of “Spaceman,” the biopic about Lee’s profession.
“Bill actually taught me how to throw an eephus, believe it or not,” Duhamel advised NESN. “He came to the set the last day we were shooting. … And literally, you know, it’s about getting it high and getting this topspin on it. And after a few tries, I started getting it. And then we did some BP, and I just love the guy. I loved what he stood for.”
3. The Buffalo Heads Fortunately for Lee, he wasn’t the one wild one on these mid-’70s Red Sox groups. No, he – together with Ferguson Jenkins, Bernie Carbo, Rick Wise and Jim Willoughby – had been generally known as “The Buffalo Heads.” The group was recognized for his or her oddball antics, a propensity to remain out method too late and a unified opposition to supervisor Don Zimmer.
Though Jenkins was the supply of the group’s moniker after having referred to Zim as a buffalo — the “stupidest animal that ever was” — Lee often had the quote attributed to him. In actuality, Lee had called Zimmer a “gerbil” for his puffy cheeks.
When the staff slowly began buying and selling away members of the group – maybe for poor play, maybe for insubordination – Lee was apoplectic. He left a burning candle on Zimmer’s desk after Willoughby was traded and refused to point out up for the 1978 staff picture (he needed to be inserted later). When Bernie Carbo was dealt to Cleveland, Lee “wept for 20 minutes, ripped his phone from the wall at dwelling and vowed he would by no means play for Boston once more.” When he returned the following day and was given a $533 positive, Lee requested for the staff to make it $1,500 so he may have just a few extra days off.
Oh yeah, when he arrived on the clubhouse he additionally was carrying a T-shirt bearing a veryuncommon slogan (at the least for knowledgeable athlete): “Friendship first, competition second.”
4. Expos Expulsion Lee had an identical expertise just a few years later whereas pitching for the Expos in 1982. Relegated to the bullpen that season, Lee was incensed when pal and defensive whiz Rodney Scott was unceremoniously launched on May 8, 1982. Lee stormed out of the clubhouse and headed to a close-by bar — in uniform, no much less — to have just a few beers whereas Montreal took on the Dodgers. He stored tabs on the sport although, so when he noticed that the staff may run brief on pitchers and will use him, he hurried again to the stadium.
Unfortunately, Lee was 35 years outdated now and the Expos had been fed up with him and launched him. Despite Lee’s pledge that loads of different groups could be serious about a lefty with a historical past of success, this could show the top of his large league profession. The Spaceman had lastly gone too far.

5. The politician So what is that this former large leaguer ballplayer who’s obsessive about Cartesian logic to do after his profession is over? Why, run for workplace, in fact. Lee first ran for president in 1988 as a member of the Rhinoceros Party below the slogan “No Guns, No Butter” as a result of each may kill you.
Though he by no means made the official poll in any state, Lee wasn’t dissuaded from one other try at public workplace. So, almost 30 years later, he ran once more — this time trying to grow to be Vermont’s governor in 2016. His platform:
“I’m a pragmatist. I could call myself a very radical contrastive pragmatist rastafarian ex-Catholic,” Lee told Time Magazine. “I’m not a flag waver. I want to do away with that. I want to get all the steroid guys in the Hall of Fame.”
6. He’s nonetheless enjoying Sure, the Major Leagues might have mentioned they had been achieved with the southpaw in ’82, however Lee has by no means grown bored with the sport. The pitcher has performed in Cuba, China, Russia, and the small city of Moncton in New Brunswick, Canada — lacing up his cleats for the Moncton Mets. Most not too long ago, Lee has suited up for the Savannah Bananas.
Lee grew to become the oldest participant to get the victory in knowledgeable recreation when he suited up for the Brockton Rox of the Canadian-American Association in 2010 at 63 years outdated. (The second-oldest participant on the roster was Mike Smith at a positively spritely 32.) He went 0-for-3 on the plate, however gave up simply two runs in 5 1/3 innings on the mound to get the W.
“I got pulled before I could use all of my pitches today,” Lee mentioned afterward. “I was hoping to be able to break out my Juan Marichal screwball.”
He broke his personal file two years later when he signed with the San Rafael Pacifics of the North American League. He seemingly used the day without work to enhance his recreation. This time he went 1-for-3 on the plate with an RBI and threw a whole recreation victory, surrendering simply 4 runs.
Don’t assume that simply because Lee hasn’t signed any contracts that he isn’t nonetheless on the market on the mound. Lee headed again to Moncton to pitch as soon as once more in 2021 on the age of 74. To the shock of completely nobody, he dominated the opposite gamers who had been many years youthful. He pitched 4 2/3 innings and gave up six hits and only one run.
7. The Yankee hater Lee could also be California-born and his separation from the Red Sox might not have been nice, however Lee simply stands out as the epitome of a Boston baseball fan. He hated the Yankees whereas enjoying, famously injuring his left shoulder in a brawl after Lou Piniella stunned Carlton Fisk on the plate. Graig Nettles was concerned within the scrap and Lee stored Nettles’ baseball card in his pockets till at the least 1990, saying that he hoped Nettles loved “the view and the odor, which hasn’t gotten any higher through the years.”
Lee might by no means have been happier than when the Red Sox got here again from a 3-0 collection deficit to defeat the Yankees within the 2004 ALCS, both.
“I was in Maui. I found out that it’s the greatest place on earth to watch a Red Sox playoff series,” Lee mentioned, making each member of Red Sox Nation jealous. “The games start at 2 p.m. You get up at first light, have a nice Kona coffee, and then you snorkel with all the natives and the 2000 species of fish and turtles. And then you have a nice lunch, a cocktail, and then sit down and watch the Red Sox kick Yankee butt. It doesn’t get any better than that.”
