- 2 years ago
Former Red Sox pitcher, Bill Lee collapsed, on the mound while warming up, for the Savannah Bananas, in a nationally televised baseball game on Friday night.
The 75-year-old left-hander with the nickname, "Spaceman" fell, to the ground and required medical attention, while warming up in the bullpen during, the Bananas' game, against the Party Animals. Though the scene looked to be critical, Lee eventually was deemed okay, by the medical staff, and he walked off the field. The game, which was airing on ESPN2 had paused while Lee was being attended to, resumed shortly thereafter.
