H The Beekeeper By The Old Sachem, Bill Stewart e did not start out as a naturalist, but after he finished an outstanding career as a major league pitcher, Jim Lonborg became a dentist then a professional beekeeper. After high school he graduated from Stanford University with a degree in biology and was signed by the Red Sox in 1965. After his baseball career he became a premed student at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. During his practice of dentistry, he started his beekeeping business on the south shore in Scituate, Mass. Now after 20 years gathering honey, Jim says that “Bees are the most perfect of God’s creations.” Lonborg maintains hives of twenty thousand of the creatures. After his career with the Red sox was over, Lonborg looked around for something to keep him active. He became a dentist then he settled on raising bees. Jim maintains that bees are a miraculous group of insects; they SKATING CENTER www.Roller-World.com | 781-231-1111 ATM on site Sunday Located Adjacent to Rite Aid Pharmacy in Saugus Plaza, South Bound Route 1 MBTA Bus Route 429 FREE WI-FI - 2 WIDE SCREEN TV’S FULLY AIR CONDITIONED WINTER SKATING SCHEDULE ATTENTION! 12-8 p.m. $7.50 Monday Private Parties Tuesday School & PTO GROUPS 7:30-10:30 p.m. Adult Night 18+ only $8.50 Wednesday Private Parties Thursday Private Parties 3-11 p.m. $7.50 Friday Saturday Admission after 6 p.m. $8.50 12-11 p.m. $7.50 Admission after 6 p.m. $8.50 Skates included in price/Blades $3 Bowling Alleys, 2 snack bars, video games.

He became a beekeeper after completing the intensive eightweek course at the Plymouth County Beekeepers Association then started his bee business in Scituate. He sold the honey under the label “Beesball Honey.” Lonborg doesn’t raise bees for the money, it’s a labor of love. Jim also feels the way I do about Red Sox pitching. He doesn’t agree with holding back pitchers in spring training to give them a longer rest before the long season. He knows from personal knowledge pitchers must get into hurling shape in spring training to be effective for the season. This year seems to accentuate this philosophy as the Sox starters were not very effective early in the year, and the team tanked because of it. There is another movement about pitching that appears more profitable to the baseball teams. It was started by Tampa Bay when they determined that their pitching staff was not up to effective execution and reverted to using relief pitchers early. It would seem to me that this strategy will become commonplace because of two reasons. The first is that they will be less tired as the season progresses; they only need to go through the batting order once and a reliever takes over. Each pitcher will face each batter once then be taken out and another will take the mound. The second reason is that it will cost the teams far less money. Bill Stewart The Old Sachem They won’t have to pay pitchers the huge sums that they now do to the starters. But enough of my theories and back to Jim Lonborg. Jim was born April 16, 1942, in Santa Maria, Calif. He became a big leaguer on April 23, 1965, with the Boston Red Sox. During his 15 years in the majors, he pitched in 425 games, started 368, won 157, lost 137 and had an ERA of 3.86 and completed 90 games. Lonborg batted .136, with 105 hits, 17 doubles, 2 triples and 3 home runs. Among his best seasons, in 1967 he had a 22 and 9 record. He pitched seven seasons with the Sox – 1965 through 1971 – one with the Milwaukee Brewers (1972) and seven with the Philadelphia Phillies. Jim was the first Cy Young winner for the Red Sox, in 1967, and was an All-Star. Jim Lonborg has had a remarkable life – Stanford, Tufts Medical, a practicing dentist and a major league pitcher. Boston fans will remember him along with Carl Yastrzemski for the “Impossible Dream Year” and pitching in the World Series. Jim Lonborg is enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, N.Y.
