Lions sign P Luther Hackman
The Lions have signed 33 year old right handed pitcher Luther Hackman. He was 1-2 with 18 saves and a 3.61 ERA in 41 appearances last season with the Nashville Sounds and then finished with the Oklahoma RedHawks (both of the Triple-A Pacific Coast League), going 0-1 with a 2.25 ERA in four games.

Hackman played in the major leagues from 1999-2003 with Colorado, St. Louis, and San Diego, compiling a 9-10 record with 1 save and a 5.09 ERA in nine starts and 140 relief appearances.

In October 2007, Hackman was given a 50 game suspension for violating the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program by testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance.

I didn't really care for Hackman as a pitcher in MLB, but I loved his name - it always reminded me of the movie "Superman." Lex Luthor was played by Gene Hackman in the movie.

About

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
