CWSpalehoseCWS Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 This has been floating around FB that LaMarr Hoyt has passed away from cancer. Terrible news. RIP to a Sox legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrittBurnsFan Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 That guy could pitch! Had trouble with those personal demons but wow could he pitch! Crazy that he was involved in trades (both coming to the White Sox and leaving) that involved some legendary White Sox names! RIP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 RIP. Very sad. He threw out the first pitch at a game a few years ago. His arm was shot. He couldn't throw the ball 10 feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsox Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I had forgotten that he was part of the Bucky Dent trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Just now, oldsox said: I had forgotten that he was part of the Bucky Dent trade. Look at Bucky Dent's career stats, and look what the Sox got for him. Veeck was probably most excited about the $200k, but supposedly that $200k was almost Ron Guidry before some Yankees scouts were listened to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Without that Landrum homer, the Sox probably go to the World Series with Hoyt starting in the next game. He was outstanding in 1983. RIP and prayers for his loved ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWINFan Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 A great pitcher. Should have had a better career. Had the pleasure of interviewing him for a book I was doing years ago. Friendly guy. This is sad news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a long time since I had faith in a starter like I had in Lamarr. He was money in the bank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grinder Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 RIP big guy, you come from one of my favorite yrs as a Sox fan. Sadly many entertainers be they sports figures, rock stars or actors and actresses are starting to pass away 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive felt that way with watching Lynn at times, albeit they pitch(ed) differently. Buehrle too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napa_soxfan Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Find myself oddly attached to this story. 66 is young. Knew the name growing up for sure; but obviously a lot more to it outside of the lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
