Roger Moret

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rogelio (Torres) "Roger" Moret (born September 16, 1949 in Guayama, Puerto Rico) is a former Major League Baseball pitcher who played for the Boston Red Sox (1970-1975), Atlanta Braves (1976) and Texas Rangers (1977-1978). In 168 games (82 as a starter and 86 as a reliever), he posted a career won-lost record of 47-27 and an earned run average of 3.66. Moret led the American League in winning percentage in both 1973 (.867) and 1975 (.824). Before the start of a game against the Detroit Tigers on April 12, 1978, Texas Rangers starting pitcher Moret was spotted in the Ranger locker room in a catatonic state, with his arm extended holding a slipper. Obviously he did not pitch that day, and was immediately taken to a psychiatric facility and went on the disabled list. He only appeared in six more games after the bizarre incident. [1]
