This Day in History: 2000-01-02

January 2, 1992: The Red Sox sign free agent left-handed pitcher Frank Viola, who had won a Cy Young Award with the Minnesota Twins and most recently pitched for the New York Mets, to a three-year contract; a variety of injuries hampers Viola performance with Boston, and he compiles a 25-21 record between 1992 and 1994.
