OT: Pedro Borbon passes
Pedro *Borbon, who pitched 10 years for the Cincinnati Reds and helped the Big Red Machine win back-to-back World Series titles, died of cancer Monday. He was 65.
Mr. Borbon had been in hospice care at his home in Pharr, Texas, according to his son *Pedro. Mr. Borbon requested to be cremated without a memorial service, his son said. Mr. Borbon was a key member of the bullpen on Cincinnati’s 1975-76 championship teams, winning 13 games during those two seasons. He also pitched for the Angels, Giants, and Cardinals. In 2010, he *became the third reliever to be inducted into the Reds Hall of Fame. Borbon was one of those guys I always remember for a variety of reasons. He was the mainstay in a very good bullpen that sort of rotated closers. I remember Marty referring to him as a "rubber arm." Seemed like he pitched every night.
