“When I was a little boy, I wanted to be a baseball player and join a circus. With the Yankees I’ve accomplished both.”
Way to tell’em Graig!

Nettles to me will always be the man responsible for destroying Bill Lee’s career by picking him up and throwing him down onto his pitching shoulder during a brawl when Lee wasn’t even involved in the thing at Yankee Stadium in ’76. Lee threatened to retaliate during the months he missed with his shoulder virtually destroyed.. He had won 17 games 3 straight seasons and never was the same, but never did against him.

Bill Lee destroyed his career himself, being always high on drugs and conducting himself like a brat, always whining and insulting everybody from taxi drivers to umpires, even his manager at the time Don Zimmer was threatened by Lee.
