Good day everyone!
On the blog today, a special request
that came through Twitter a few months ago, one for a 1969 Bill Haywood,
who appeared in 14 games for the Washington Senators in 1968, the only
games of his Big League career:
Haywood didn't
factor in a decision over his brief Major League career, pitching to a
4.70 earned run average over 23 innings, striking out 10 while walking
12, with 27 hits allowed.
He'd put in one more season in the
Minors in 1969, going 1-1 for Burlington in Single-A ball before
retiring for good, immediately becoming the head baseball coach at
Western Carolina University before later holding the same position at
Georgia Southwestern State University.
He would put in some
Big League coaching as well later on, for both the Texas Rangers and
Seattle Mariners organizations, where he also served as Player
Development Coordinator.
A baseball lifer traveling many roads!
