The winningest southpaw in Red Sox history, Mel Parnell, passed away yesterday. He was 89.

A native of New Orleans, Parnell never played on a pennant winner but did amass a 125 ERA+ and 123 wins over 10 seasons (1947–56) in right-handed-hitter-friendly Fenway Park. Injuries plagued Parnell’s final three seasons, but he managed to throw a no-hitter against the White Sox on July 14, 1956.
