Boston, MA – Minor league baseball teams are notorious for unusual promotions. The Brockton Rox of the independent Can-Am league announced this week that when they face the Worcester Tornadoes early next month, Bill Lee will take the mound for the Rox. It's a gimmick that's gotten the attention of commentator Bill Littlefield. Why? Because Bill Lee is 63 years old.
