Boston Red Sox most controversial figures: Haywood Sullivan

In the second part of our look at some of the most controversial figures in Red Sox history, we come to a man who spent many years working for the subject of the first part (Tom Yawkey). This article will look at Haywood Sullivan, a man who fleetingly played for the Red Sox between 1955 and 1960. Appearing in just career 60 games for the Red Sox, it was his post-playing career for the team which made him controversial.

After leaving the Red Sox in 1960, Sullivan played for the Kansas City Athletics from 1961 to 1963 and then managed them for a season in 1965.
