Gentleman Jim in the Bosox Hall
Ex-Phil Gentleman Jim Lonborg was inducted into the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame today (and no, that's not an oxymoron). Lonborg had a tremendous season in 1967 for them, winning the Cy Young, clinching the pennant on the last day of the season, and winning two games in the Series (one a no-hitter for 7-2/3). I remember Lonborg as the number two starter behind Steve Carlton on the Phillies' playoff teams of the mid-'70s. He had a great delivery. It always looked like he just picked up his lead foot and then put it down. He was also very softspoken and articulate.
Congrats! It couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
