Baseball History -- June 17

Complete entry for June 17 is at BaseballLibrary.com HERE.

Highlighted entry:
1995
The Angels release Mitch Williams. The Wild One‚ considered retired last year after being released by Houston‚ leaves the majors with a unique stat on his resume: 526 hits and 537 walks in 684 2/3 innings. He is the only pitcher with more than 250 innings to allow more walks than hits.

Mitch Williams was a competitor and to my knowledge never failed to take the ball in a situation with the game on the line. He made it interesting and heart breaking at times, but he was never boring.
