Hell if he only knew he had to pitch 6 or 7 like todays guys his ERA would probably be under 3.00. He did strike out 3700 guys. Like you said he was a great post season pitcher for the few good teams he did pitch for.

And I guarantee he believes more than
everything you wrote and is
bitter.

But I can still see the huge hook
that guy could throw.
