After spending 15 years in Smith’s Grove Sanitarium, Mike Myers escaped and returned to his hometown of Haddonfield, Illinois. Oh wait, that’s the wrong Mike Myers. After 6 seasons on Saturday Night Live, Mike Myers left to pursue a film career, where…what, still the wrong Mike Myers? How many where there?
Baseball’s Mike Myers, a native of Arlington Heights, joined the White Sox in August of their lost 2007 season after being released by the Yankees. He fit right in, which, sadly, means he did not pitch well, putting up an 11.20 ERA in 17 appearances. Myers had a $1.1 million option for 2008, which the White Sox chose to decline. Myers tried to latch on to a team the next spring, but never did pitch in the major leagues again.
Myers’ numbers in a White Sox uniform, both for games I attended and overall, were:
Wins | Losses | ERA | Saves | IP | Hits | Runs | ER | Walks | Strike Outs | HR | HBP | Games |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
0 | 0 | 0.00 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 3 |
1 | 0 | 11.20 | 0 | 13.667 | 21 | 19 | 17 | 7 | 6 | 3 | 1 | 17 |
