Hines Among Greats in 3L HOF Saturday, February 28th, 2037 During his fantastic pitching career Todd Hines was hard-nosed competitor. Prior to an important game, he once told reporters, "If we lose today, it will be over my dead body. They'll have to leave me face down on the mound." It was this attitude that helped to inspire Hines to such an outstanding career. Today he was rewarded with his admission into the Menard's Third League Hall of Fame. Hines retired from baseball at age 35 and fashioned a 26-6 won-lost record in his career with a 1.96 ERA. The gifted hurler appeared in 56 games, fanned 406 hitters and piled up 353.2 innings pitched. One of his managers at the induction ceremony observed, "Todd was a bulldog on the mound. If a man put a gun to my head and said I'm going to pull the trigger, if you lose this game, I'd want him to pitch that game." |
