Bill Singer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Robert Singer (born April 24, 1944 in Los Angeles, California) is a former baseball pitcher with a 14-year career from 1964 to 1977. He played primarily for the Los Angeles Dodgers (1964-72) and the California Angels (1973-75), spending his final two seasons with the Texas Rangers (1976), Minnesota Twins (1976) and Toronto Blue Jays (1977).
Singer won 20 games for the Dodgers in 1969, and again for the Angels in 1973, and was an All-Star both years. He threw a no-hitter on 20 July 1970, blanking the Phillies 5-0. He was the starting pitcher for the expansion Toronto Blue Jays in their first game in the American League in April 1977.
After retirement he held various coaching and consulting positions. In 2003, he was terminated from his position as special assistant to General Manager Jim Duquette of the New York Mets, following racially insensitive remarks made in reference to Dodgers assistant general manager Kim Ng.[1]
