Throughout the mid-seventies the imposing righty was among the games most reliable hurlers notching fifteen or more wins six times in a row for five different squads. Torrez' most memorable moment came on the evening of October 2, 1978, when New York and Boston, both tied for first place, faced off against one another in a single game playoff. Late in the ninth with his team ahead Torrez delivered a pitch that was quickly returned towards the outfield by Bucky Dent, it would float just inches above the fence but far enough to seal the Sox fate once more. From that same season comes Mike's gray road pull-over jersey with "Boston" in red on blue tackle twill across the chest and his number "21" on the verso. The collar is tagged "McAuliffe" with additional [size] "50" tag while the center front tail owns a "1978" year tag along with care instructions. Strong overall use fills this fantastic gamer from his most noteworthy season.
