The 1962 NL pennant winner once exclaimed, “I was never classified as a starter or as a reliever, so I mostly sat on a tarp between the bullpen and the dugout because I didn’t know which one I’d be doing.”

The skilled pitcher performed his job brilliantly during his over a decade career. He registered his name as one of the fine pitchers of that time.

A look at Bolin’s glorious 13 years as a profound pitcher!

Bolin played over 495 games, starting 164 of them. He has a win-loss record of 88-75. Bolin pitched during 1567 innings and claimed 1176 strikeouts. He also claimed 50 shutouts during this period and has a career bWAR of 18.9. The 84 also played for the Boston Red Sox for four seasons after spending a 1970 season at Milwaukee.

Bolin is survived by his family, including his wife and his as well as two children and other members. The 84-year-old leaves behind a powerful legacy that will continue to inspire future players. Given that the Giants are currently fighting for the championship, it would be a fitting tribute from them for their two legends. Will they achieve it or not? Only time will tell!
