Who can forget Bruce Hurst? The graceful left-handed windup and delivery of good ole #47 for your hometown Sawx! I’ve used the ’83 Topps card as his pic at the top of this post. Brucie with and without the porn ‘stache.
Hurstie was toeing the rubber in Beantown between 1980 & 1988. Great control and superb ability to change speeds were the name of his game. His best year in Boston came in the 1986 AL Champs season when he went 13-8 with a 2.99 ERA . His postseason in ’86 was phenomenal as well. Check his postseason numbers…
ALCS vs. Angels: 1-0, 2.40 ERA in 15 Innings Pitched
WS vs. Mookie & the Mets: 2-0, 1.96 ERA in 23 Innings Pitched
What have you been up to Brucie? Last I heard, you were named Special Assistant for Player Development with the Red Sox back in 2008. Shoot me an e-mail at the site. Smitty & I would love to take you for a brewski.
