Sullivan was a Red Sox workhorse in the mid-1950s. He went 18-13 in 1955, tying
for the league lead in wins, and leading in starts (35) and innings pitched (260).
That summer, he served up Stan Musial's 12th-inning, All-Star Game-winning home run.
Sullivan was the tallest pitcher in the AL (6'6-1/2") when he was traded to Philadelphia
for the NL's taller pitcher, 6'8" Gene Conley, in December of 1960. His 3-16 record
in 1961 for the 47-107 Phillies dropped his lifetime record below .500.
