Biography

A Crab Orchard High School and Marion High School graduate, Bailey was an outstanding pitcher for Southeastern Illinois College from Шаблон:By-Шаблон:By and was named to the All-Region team. Selected by the Boston Red Sox in the Шаблон:By draft, he pitched for four Major League clubs in part of eight seasons, filling relief roles coming out from the bullpen as a middle reliever and as a set-up man as well. In a spring training game on April 2, 1993, Frank Viola and Bailey combined on a no-hitter as the Red Sox defeated the Phillies 10–0 at Jack Russell Memorial Stadium in Clearwater, Florida.[1]

Bailey reached the majors in 1993 with the Boston Red Sox, spending two years with them before moving to the St. Louis Cardinals (Шаблон:Mlby-Шаблон:Mlby), San Francisco Giants (Шаблон:Mlby-Шаблон:Mlby) and Kansas City Royals (Шаблон:Mlby-Шаблон:Mlby). His most productive season came in 1996 with St. Louis, when he posted career-highs with five wins and a 3.00 ERA. He had another decent season in 2001 for Kansas City, striking out 61 batters in Шаблон:Frac innings, also career-numbers. In 172 games, Bailey compiled a 9–10 record with one save a 3.96 ERA.

On April 10, 2002, Bailey notched his one and only MLB save against the Red Sox. He pitched 1 1/3 innings, striking out 3 and preserving the 6-2 Royals victory.[2] On May 26, 2002, Bailey won both ends of a doubleheader against the Texas Rangers, becoming the first pitcher since David Wells in 1989 to accomplish the feat.[3]

After that, he played with the Yomiuri Giants in Japan's Central League (Шаблон:By-Шаблон:By), La New Bears of Taiwan's Chinese Professional Baseball League (Шаблон:By), Long Island Ducks of the independent Atlantic League (Шаблон:By), Iowa Cubs which is a Triple-A team of the Chicago Cubs (Шаблон:By)
