Along with being good pitchers — in much different ways — Bard and Hill are first-class people who proved to be excellent examples of perseverance. Bard, 40, was one of the best relievers in baseball until his career went awry because of the yips starting late in the 2011 season. It got worse when the Sox tried to make him a starter in 2012.

| 5/23/25 | Royals' 45-Year-Old 'Capable Of Pitching In The Majors,' Believes MLB Insider.
