For the Red Sox tonight, Bill Lee. Bill is a left-hander, 6-3, 205 pounds, 31 years old.

One-tend and lost seven. Bill Lee has a really good job of the Red Sox this year.

You slow down somewhat. This will be his 22nd start of the year. He is making his fifth attempt to win his 11th game.

The end is the hope that his next start will be making his sixth attempt to do the same thing.

Bill Lee, with an earn run average at 3.39, first start at the year against the Indians. He's won 70s, lost 10 in his career against Cleveland. Bill Lee has made the change when he first came up about nine years ago. He's a pretty good fastball. he has changed his style of it because he's lost something off the fastball but now he makes do with good control change this speed the big overhand curve plenty of motion

and he throws that sinking curveball also has on a sinking fastball at about two or three different kinds of curve

just a little side arm will throw overhand he'll throw almost a blooper type curveball.

And he really gets good motion on it.

He's also a very good fielding pitcher.

Here in Boston, as we always discussed, the green monster very much in evidence.

Down the left field line, last night the monster didn't take too many dents only one a

really cracked was the one that Jim Rice said he might have had three home runs playing

in another ballpark because he had a single off the left field wall that was still going up

and hit the wall so here in Boston 315 down to the left field line at the base of the wall

and that wall extends up 37 feet,

goes across to left center, where in left center, it's 375, 379 feet, to be precise. In center field,

the bleacher wall is 17 feet high and it's 420 feet just to the right of center. Down the right field line,

302 feet, but it goes out very quickly,

and in front of the bullpins, it's 380 feet. And that bullpen wall, somewhere around 3.5 feet high. So Rick Manning, set to go. Joe Tate set to go for us, and now here's Joe to tell you that it is. A beautiful night for baseball. Thank you, Herb. Good evening, everybody. Manning a left-hand bat or the center fielder leading off 266, 3-Omer's 38 RBI, two-for-four last night with two-runs scores.

Billy, the Spacefan, lines and throws, fastball inside ball one. Rocky Calavito coaching at first,

and Joan Athick, coaching at third.
