Didn’t know that. But when I hear that about a pitcher, my first thought will always be “career is over.” I’m guessing guys like Chris Carpenter and Chris Young that were able to come back and be effective had the less severe kind

Last month my son met him at a minor league game. Always love meeting Padres greats.
Most accurate statement in the history of this board"Jeter without the rings"

Well, Reds pitcher from the 50’s, Corky Valentine was one of my grandpa’s best friends. I never knew he was a former MLB player until well after he died though. I just remember him as the retired cop that always wore a Braves cap that was always sitting on my grandpa’s front porch on weekday afternoons when I’d get off the bus there after school
Corky only lasted one full season and part of another. He probably wasn’t even a celebrity in Cincinnati
A strikeout is the same as any other out. Batting average means nothing.
No, it didn’t. Pretty well every stadium back then was what Oakland is now. Mixed use pieces of shit that nobody truly remembers fondly.

Do you think any of the “greats” of yesteryear who hit 0.400 would even sniff 0.300 in today‘s game? Of course not. They’re all dead.
He had the clapp from his service time and was married to 2 women at the same time. The only thing worse than that was having to play IN Boston
He was racing Jesse Owens
Sounds just like @williewilliejuan less the speed
