A little about FP Santangelo:

Bill Lee, nicknamed the "Spaceman," is a former Major League Baseball (MLB) pitcher known for his unorthodox style, quirky personality, and impressive career. Born on December 28, 1946, in Burbank, California, Lee played for the Boston Red Sox and the Montreal Expos during his career, which spanned from 1969 to 1982.

Lee was a left-handed pitcher with a distinctive approach on and off the field. He was known for his unconventional pitching mechanics, often relying on a variety of pitches, including his famous "eephus" pitch—a slow, looping delivery that baffled hitters. Despite not having overpowering stuff, his smarts and creative approach made him a standout.

Lee was particularly effective during his time with the Red Sox, where he enjoyed his most successful seasons. In 1973, he won 17 games and earned an All-Star selection. He was also a key member of the Red Sox’s rotation in the early 1970s, contributing to the team’s competitiveness during that era.

Off the field, Bill Lee was famous for his outspoken and eccentric personality. He was often seen as a bit of a rebel, challenging authority and openly discussing his views on baseball and life. This made him a fan favorite in Boston and Montreal, where he played his final seasons.

Lee's career was also notable for his longevity and resilience. Despite injuries and controversies, including being cut from the Red Sox in the late 1970s, he continued playing into his mid-30s, demonstrating his love for the game. After his MLB career, he played in the minors and even dabbled in various baseball ventures, including coaching.

Bill Lee remains a beloved figure in baseball history, not only for his unique pitching style but also for his entertaining and candid personality that left a lasting impact on the game.
