Wow, that one is shocking to me. He was legitimately crazy. Like certifiable.

I never would have gotten almost all of those on that list. Well done, Stacey.

Hoyt: ChiSox
Higuera: MIL
Swift: Seattle?
Helling: TX
Lima: HOU/DET asnoted
Colborn: MIL
Merritt: MN/CIN
Figueroa: NYY
Busby: KC
Boswell: MN
Ellis: No idea
Bouton: BoSox
Norris: A's
Bryant: No idea
Garland was probably w/CLE?

Sammy Ellis became a ML itching coach I believe.

Sad

Lots of trivial knowledge in this noggin that should be spent on other things.

Yep Busby was a stud, before KC got really good, 2 no-no's before he crashed and burned.

Cleveland signed him after he won 20 with the 0s.

then he tore his rotator cuff and completely bombed out.
Cleveland got nothing out of him

Following a 20-7 season as a 25-year-old with the Baltimore Orioles in 1976, Garland was a member of baseball's first full-fledged free-agent class. He signed for $2.3 million. Garland was released in January 1982 after just five years with Cleveland in which he accumulated a 28-48 record and exceeded 100 IP in only 2 of those 5 seasons.

Michael Cuddyer .278?

Morneau not far behind at .281

Derrek Lee has to be high on that list. I bet those 2 aren't in the top 10.

Good one. Derrek Lee .281.

Cuddyer still the front-runner in this trivia question.
