#RedSox announce passing of Doug Griffin, who was 69. “Dude” was an excellent 2B, Gold Glove winner in 1972.

One of my strongest memories of Doug Griffin was his being beaned by Nolan Ryan.
wiki: On April 30, 1974, Griffin was beaned by a Nolan Ryan fastball knocking him unconscious. The beaning left him with a concussion and temporary hearing loss, and likely caused the premature end to Griffin's career. On August 30, 1975 Griffin was beaned again, this time by Oakland's Dick Bosman.
