November 30, 20214 yr This has been floating around FB that LaMarr Hoyt has passed away from cancer. Terrible news. RIP to a Sox legend.
November 30, 20214 yr 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!
November 30, 20214 yr 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.
November 30, 20214 yr 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.
November 30, 20214 yr 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.
November 30, 20214 yr 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.

December 1, 20214 yr 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

December 2, 20214 yr 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.
