Lyle became a household name as a dominant closer for the New York Yankees in the 1970s, winning the AL Cy Young Award in 1977 and registering 238 saves in 16 MLB seasons.
Yet, while great on the field, Lyle is best remembered today for what he would do whenever one of his teammates had a birthday party in the clubhouse. Once the birthday cake was delivered, Lyle would wait till everybody left the locker room, then take his pants and underwear off before sitting on the cake.
