An Ode to Daniel Bard: The Now-Retired Hurler Who Threw One of the Nastiest Pitches Ever
Posted Jan 14, 2018
The career of former Red Sox reliever Daniel Bard was full of promise but short on success. Two-plus seasons of exemplary relief work from 2009 through '11 that gave way to a rough few months spent as a starter in '12 followed by several years of bouncing from team to team in the minors. Injuries piled up along the way, his control vanished, and now his career is over.
