Former left-handed pitcher Billy O'Dell, a two-time All-Star, died Wednesday in Newberry, S.C. He was 85.

Clemson announced O'Dell's death on Thursday. He was a pitcher at the university before beginning his 13-year stint in the majors.

No cause of death was announced.

O'Dell went 105-100 with a 3.29 ERA from 1954-67. He missed the 1955 season for military service.

O'Dell was traded to the Milwaukee Braves after the 1964 season and spent 1 1/2 seasons with the club, the second campaign being the franchise's first in Atlanta. He was dealt midway through the 1966 season to Pittsburgh and finished his career with the Pirates in 1967.

Remember when we were talking about different era's in baseball as it related to home plate collisions and the Utley Rule?


I'm thinking the Ty Cobb era guys would think today's players are somewhat less manly than they were.
