Haywood Sullivan--Baseball Birthday Quote of the Day

Former major league catcher and Red Sox part owner, Haywood Sullivan was born on this day in 1930.

Sullivan was a catcher mostly with the Red Sox. He played several seasons. He served the United States during the Korean War--losing several years of playing time. From 1978--1993, he was a part owner of the Red Sox. He also drafted his son Marc in the second round of the 1979 draft which led to the baseball birthday quote of the day.

"He better be a better hitter than his father or he's out of work."
