Found some interesting facts about Sebra:
In 1986, Sebra was the last pitcher ever to give up a walk-off win where the winning run was scored by the other team's manager. (Pete Rose)
Included among Sebra’s MLB highlights are 2 shutouts, a 1-0 and a 2-0, accomplished while with Montreal.
And a sad one:
Sebra died at the age of 58 on July 22, 2020, after spending a year in intensive care in Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, Florida, as a result of multiple organ failure. He had undergone a liver transplant several years earlier.
Too young….
