Bill "Spaceman" Lee was inducted into the Red Sox Hall of Fame as the team's record-holder for most games pitched by a left-hander (321) and the third-highest win total (94) by a Red Sox southpaw.
One of Lee's pitches was an eephus referred to as the "Leephus," "spaceball," or "moon ball." Pitching for the Boston Red Sox in Game 7 of the 1975 World Series, the Red Sox were up 3–0 when Lee threw three eephus pitches to Tony Pérez with a runner on base. The third resulted in a towering two-run home run and the Red Sox would go on to lose the game 4–3, costing them the chance for their first World Series championship since 1918.
The eephus pitch is believed to have gotten its name from a Hebrew word. To get the final coordinates, add the meaning of this Hebrew word to the posted coordinates.
