Bill Pulsipher – NY Mets Prospect

It is always very cool to get autographs in person, my collection is very extensive so it becomes very time consuming to post all the pics, but this is a daily love of mine and I am building this blog to help those autograph hounds out in anyway with information and tips on getting them.

On February 23, 2000, Pulsipher’s pregnant wife found him unconscious and barely breathing on their bathroom floor. Pulsipher was rushed to the hospital with paramedics assisting his breathing and doctors restoring his weak heartbeat. Pulsipher attributes the attack to a dietary supplement which contained ephedra. Three years later, Pulsipher was nearby when his Baltimore Orioles teammate Steve Bechler collapsed and died, also from ephedra. Ephedra was banned by the Food and Drug Administration in 2004.

It would have been very cool to have seen the Mets succeed with this pitcher as well as Scott Kazmir, Bobby Jones, as well as a few others, it was never meant to be. Other notable teams in which he played for: Milwaukee, Boston, St. Louis Cardinals, Chicago White Sox…Wishing Bill Pulsipher the very best!
