[edit] Biography
Born on January 29, 1939 in Hickory Grove, South Carolina, Bobby Bolin (Bobby Donald Bolin) played for the San Francisco Giants, Milwaukee Brewers and Boston Red Sox over the course of his 13 year career. Bolin broke into the bigs on April 18, 1961 with the San Francisco Giants, and put up a 3.62 ERA in 92 innings pitched in 1962, his rookie year.
