James Anthony Piersall (born November 14, 1929 in Waterbury, Connecticut) is a former center fielder in Major League Baseball. Between 1950 and 1967, he played for the Boston Red Sox (1950, 1952-58), Cleveland Indians (1959-61), Washington Senators (1962-63), New York Mets (1963) and Los Angeles/California Angels (1963-67). While he had a fairly good professional career as a center fielder, Piersall is better known for his well-publicized battle with Bipolar disorder that became the subject of the movie Fear Strikes Out. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Piersall
