AlThe player who ran for President of the US in 1988 is Bill "spaceman" Lee. He ran on Canada's Rhinoceros Party and his slogan was "no guns, no butter, both can kill".
Bill Lee was one of the most colorful players ever to play the game. He named Don Zimmer (then manager of the Red Sox), the "designated gerbil". Lee, while jogging to Fenway Park one day was heard to say, "my use of marijuana makes me immune to bus fumes". Lee also said the following:
"You have two hemispheres in your brain - a left and a right side. The left side controls the right side of your body and right controls the left half. It's a fact. Therefore, left-handers are the only people in their right minds."
Truly I can't make this stuff up!
Have a great day guys...tis gorgeous in Atlanta.
