Derek Lowe made a career of being a solid initial pitcher, since he helped Boston’s red socks break the “curse of the bambino” during his career as a player.
The right-handed pitcher was twice all-Star with the red socks before he finally played for the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Atlanta braves, the Cleveland Indians, the New York Yankees and the Texas Rangers. When he left the field for the last time as a baseball player during the 2013 season, he would change his glove for a golf bag.
