Trivia

  • He got the nickname "Catfish" from his teammates while a Red Sox, after he stepped on a catfish while trying to pull the hook out of its mouth and a barbed fin went through the crepe sole of his shoe, incapacitating him during Spring training. Other nicknames he went by during his career: "Mike," "Mich," "Met," and "The Cat."
