Burt Hooton


Born today, none other than retired pitcher, Burt Hooton.

I note that Tommy Lasorda nicknamed him "Happy" because he never smiled.

Sorry, I am calling b.s. on this. As you can see, Hooton was a barrel of laughs with the Cubs.

No, I think this was all about Lasorda. He was probably always pushing those Slim Fast shakes on Hooton who didn't appreciate it.

Also after wins, Hooton just wanted to do a fist bump but Tommy wanted to do belly bumps. Creeped Hooton out.

I wouldn't smile either.
