Fireballing Bard's promotion comes quick

Posted May 11, 2009
Daniel Bard may have made the last minor league appearance of his career Wednesday in Pawtucket, R.I., and the reason is self-evident. He faced five batters over the final four outs of the game. One hit a double. The other four struck out. Bard's pitching arsenal revolves around his 100-mile-per-hour fastball, and the whole package bordered on unfair at Triple A. He faced 58 batters in 16 innings this season. (Boston Globe)
