I don't, but hope he is doing well. Man, he had a rocket arm. He could throw. I remember him saying in an interview, (paraphrase) "People thought I had a rubber arm because I was out there every fourth day. My arm hurt like hell, but it was my job. I said give me the ball and I'll go do it." 376 innings in 1971. Let's see some starter top 300 innings these days. Different game now. I still think Mickey Lolich would be a HOF'r in modern times. His problem was, if he had an extra day off, he was so strong, he had so much movement on the ball he threw wild. Blazing 96 mph fastball.
