What a delivery

#27 Juan Marichal

Germaniac · 02-23-2019, 04:05 AM

One of these cases where you wonder what could have been

#27 Pete Reiser

Clovidequano Dovatha · 02-23-2019, 08:59 AM

I believe Reiser was a Cardinals farmhand before the Commissioner of that time voided his contract, and then the Dodgers picked him up and all. CD out.

I did miss the #29 day, but who is (probably) the only player to touch the World Series winning ball in consecutive years? Answer: Joe Carter (1992 and 1993)...

Way, way, way, way overdue for Cooperstown. Should've been an easy 1st ballot guy, but...you know...writers. Favourite Blyleven pic. Does not show the number 28, but sums up his dry sense of humour.

actionjackson · 02-23-2019, 04:06 PM

One of the best players I've ever seen. He can do everything on a baseball field...Mike Trout.
