    Boston Red Sox - His splendid moment - The Boston Globe Page 1 of 3 THIS STORY HAS BEEN FORMATTED FOR EASY PRINTING ONE-HIT WONDERS His splendid moment In a pinch, Hardy gained starring role By Stan Grossfeld, Globe Staff | December 20, 2009 First in an occasional series on memorable Boston sports figures who had their 15 minutes of fame. LONGMONT, Colo. - At 76, former Red Sox outfielder Carroll Hardy is in stellar health, but he knows his obituary is all but set in stone. The only man ever to pinch hit for Ted Williams. “I’m kind of excited by it,’’ says Hardy, a glint in his eye. “I think it’s funny.’’ He’s been described as having the good fortune of Forrest Gump, and for good reason. Hardy also played one year in the NFL and caught four touchdown passes from Hall of Fame quarterback Y.A. Tittle. He pinch hit for a young Yaz and a rookie Roger Maris. He was tutored by the legendary Tris Speaker, coached for the volatile Billy Martin in Triple A Denver, and hit a walkoff grand slam at Fenway Park. He was even responsible for a change in the NFL draft. Hardy was a journeyman outfielder for the Red Sox, Indians, Colt .45s, and Twins who hit just .225 with 17 home runs and 113 RBIs in 433 games over an eight-year major league career. But he received baseball immortality on Sept. 20, 1960, in the first inning of a game in Baltimore. “Skinny Brown was pitching this particular day.

Abstract: Mike Ryan was born in Haverhill and would go on to become a major league baseball player for several times including the Boston Red Sox, Philadelphia Phillies, and Pittsburgh Pirates.

  • Progressive Team Home Run Leaders of the Washington Nationals, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Angels and New York Yankees
    Academic Forum 30 2012-13 Progressive Team Home Run Leaders of the Washington Nationals, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Angels and New York Yankees Fred Worth, Ph.D. Professor of Mathematics Abstract - In this paper, we will look at which players have been the career home run leaders for the Washington Nationals, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Angels and New York Yankees since the beginning of the organizations. Introduction Seven years ago, I published the progressive team home run leaders for the New York Mets and Chicago White Sox. I did similar research on additional teams and decided to publish four of those this year. I find this topic interesting for a variety of reasons. First, I simply enjoy baseball history. Of the four major sports (baseball, football, basketball and cricket), none has had its history so consistently studied, analyzed and mythologized as baseball. Secondly, I find it amusing to come across names of players that are either a vague memory or players I had never heard of before. The Nationals The Montreal Expos, along with the San Diego Padres, Kansas City Royals and Seattle Pilots debuted in 1969, the year that the major leagues introduced division play. The Pilots lasted a single year before becoming the Milwaukee Brewers. The Royals had a good deal of success, but then George Brett retired. Not much has gone well at Kauffman Stadium since. The Padres have been little noticed except for their horrid brown and mustard uniforms. They make up for it a little with their military tribute camouflage uniforms but otherwise carry on with little notice from anyone outside southern California.

  • Regulation of Bute and Lasix in New York State by Bennett Liebman
    Regulation of Bute and Lasix in New York State By Bennett Liebman Government Attorney in Residence Albany Law School The horse racing community in the United States has been fighting over issues relating to phenylbutazone or butazolidin [hereinafter referred to as Bute] for more than 55 years and furosemide/salix [hereinafter referred to as Lasix] for more than 40 years. Over this period of time, the same questions have been asked by both supporters and opponents of administration of these drugs. The questions have been asked, but the questions have remained largely unanswered. After decades, the United States racing industry has been unable to come up with a clear consistent position on the proper utilization of these drugs. The purpose of this memorandum is to supply an overview for the members of the Gaming Commission of New York State’s involvement with drug testing issues and more specifically with the history of New York’s regulation of the two drugs most often associated with permissive medication: Bute and Lasix. Much of the focus of this memorandum is on thoroughbred racing, but it is important to understand that the analysis and the issues (and therefore the focus of the Commission) also must be applied to harness racing, which constitutes the vast majority of the pari-mutuel racing conducted in New York State. While some of the statements in this memorandum may be controversial, this memorandum is intended to be historical and not an advocacy piece. Historical New York Drug Testing Questions and Issues New York State, like most North American racing jurisdictions, uses the trainer responsibility rule.1 Under the New York version of this rule, a trainer is responsible for a drug positive unless the trainer is able to demonstrate by substantial evidence that he or she was not responsible for the administration of the drug.2 While New York State allows trainers to assert non- responsibility as an affirmative defense, other states have an even tougher version of the trainer responsibility rule.
