Talk:Balvino Gálvez

Untitled
Balvino Galvez had the #5 spot in the Pirates' rotation pretty much locked down in 2001, when he made an error toward the end of spring training. He got into a shouting match with the pitching coach, threw down his glove, stormed out of the stadium, and was on a plane back to the Dominican Republic within hours, never to appear again in organized baseball.

-- One of the wackiest: Pirates reliever Balvino Galvez, who turned 37 yesterday and hadn't been in the majors since 1986, muffed a throw in a rundown drill, picked up the ball, threw it into the stands, stormed into the clubhouse, packed his things and bolted, without talking with the team or media. The release papers were drawn up immediately. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.94.175.64 (talk) 01:24, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
