When I showed my sons the unforgettable video of Steve Lyons pantsing himself at Tiger Stadium in 1990, they rolled around the floor laughing. In my younger days, the clip was a part of every blooper reel. Still funny.
The eccentric utility man nicknamed “Psycho” had a nine-year career split across four teams (including four separate stints with the Boston Red Sox). He slashed .252/.301/.340 with 19 home runs over 2,162 at bats. He stole 42 bases and was caught stealing 32 times.
On numerous occasions Lyons’ comments in the broadcast booth have gotten him into trouble. Nonetheless, he still has a gig with NESN, the Red Sox network. For me, his best work was calling Billy Chapel’s perfect game alongside Vin Scully.
