Thanks.
That's actually true. Mazzilli was always given the nickname "Mazz" in print.
Anyway, I always liked Lee, and though I'm sorry to see him go, I wish him luck in Baltimore.
Everytime I see Lee Mazzilli's name in print, it reminds me that the Rangers traded Ron Darling and Walt Terrell for him. That might have been worse than the Harold Baines trade. Geez, no wonder the Rangers never have and probably never will have any pitching (CHAN HO!!!).
And that was so retarded when you look at his numbers that year. His ERA and WHIP were 3.43/1.38, but he gave up 240 hits in 215 innings, and struck out an entire 62 batters over those 215 innings. And after that he never even approached decent again....
