It's a guy who has written a book about the game of baseball in the 1970s. He posts things almost every day about players from that generation. Here is today's post:<br /><br />Big Hair & Plastic Grass: A Funky Ride Through Baseball In The 1970s<br />A funky birthday salute as well to the late Don Wilson, the Astros hurler responsible for the first no-hitter ever thrown on artificial turf or in a domed stadium (6/18/67 agaisnt the Braves at the Astrodome). Don's best season was 1971, when he went 16-10 with a 2.45 ERA, 180 Ks, 18 CGs and a 1.022 WHIP in 268 innings. He was found dead on January 5, 1975 in the passenger seat of his 1972 Thunderbird, which was parked and running in his garage. His death was ruled an accident, though questions regarding the circumstances persist to this day.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16611221603177517960noreply@blogger.com
