Many people know Sutcliffe as one of the announcers for Wednesday Night Baseball on ESPN; however, in my interview with the former starting pitcher, he also had some keen insight about this year’s Red Sox players, based upon his long career in the majors.
Sutcliffe has done a great deal as a player and as an ambassador for Major League Baseball. Not only was he a three-time All-Star, but he won the National League Rookie of the Year in 1979, the N.L. Cy Young Award in 1984, and the Roberto Clemente Award for demonstrating the most sportsmanship and kindness on and off of the field in 1987.
