Monday Jul 19, 2021
Wherever Fred Lynn went in sports, success seemed to follow him. He was a multi-sport athlete in high school. He attended the University of Southern California, where he played baseball, and the Trojans won national championships all three years he was there. He was drafted by the Boston Red Sox and made his debut a little more than a year after he was drafted. His first full season (1975), he became the first player in MLB history to win Rookie of the Year and his league's MVP in the same season. Injuries were the only thing that slowed him down. He's a member of the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame and the College Baseball Hall of Fame. He joins us to talk about his great career.
