Tug McGraw pitched 19 years in the majors for the Mets and Phillies. Struck out Willie Wilson, KC Royals, for the final out in the 1980 World Series. Phillies win, Phillies win . . .
"Maybe it's appropriate. I've had a love affair with baseball. The game stole my heart . . ." announcing his retirement in 1985.
Died at 59 from brain cancer Monday, January 5, 2004. That's too young.
Live everyday to the fullest - love life! Love Steamboat!
By the way, yes, he is the father of Tim McGraw of country music fame.
