Bo McLaughlin

Michael Duane "Bo" McLaughlin (born October 23, 1953) is an American former Major League Baseball relief pitcher from 1976 to 1982 for the Houston Astros, Atlanta Braves, and Oakland Athletics.

McLaughlin is best known for being hit by a line drive that almost ended his career and his alias "Grim Bimbledon".

He threw a sinker to Harold Baines, who hit a line drive into McLaughlin's face.

It took two surgeries to wire his cheekbone and left eye socket, and doctors at Oakland's Merritt Hospital feared that he would not survive the night.

He later went into the real estate business[1] and coached in the minor leagues for the Chicago Cubs and Baltimore Orioles systems before moving on to his current job with the Rockies.
