By the way though, the Wild Thing-Joe Carter moment was '93. <br /><br />http://www.sportingnews.com/baseball/25moments/16.html<br /><br />This leapt out at me because my beloved Twins won in '91. Jack Morris would be high on my list.<br /><br />Have a great trip and if you ever get to the Metrodome, please be merciless.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Dave<br />http://fishfearme.blogs.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912763.post-1088117261326237152004-06-24T18:47:00.000-04:002004-06-24T18:47:00.000-04:00Easycure says:

As a southpaw myself, I go for solidarity.<br /><br />Steve Carlton: See Sandy Koufax.<br /><br />Dan Quisenberry: Submarine delivery and probably more 2- and 3-inning saves than anyone. Given bullpen usage trends, that record will never be broken.<br /><br />Gaylord Perry: He was the only good pitcher the Indians had, at the time I became a serious baseball fan as a child.<br /><br />Bob Feller: Rapid Robert has to be at the top of the list of any true Indians fan.<br /><br />Tom Seaver: The Miracle Mets were a great story, and Tom Terrific was a great pitcher.<br /><br />Ewell "The Whip" Blackwell: He was the ace of my 1947 AL pennant-winning Replay Baseball 1947 old-timers team (also featuring Early Wynn, Jackie Robinson, Phil Rizzuto, Pete Suder, Harry "The Hat" Walker, Billy Johnson, Bruce Edwards, Tommy Holmes, and King Kong Keller). 33 starts, 21-12 record, 30 complete games. "Gimme the ball and go sit down, skip."<br /><br />Aurelio Lopez: Bill James had a hilarious description of Senor Smoke (paraphrasing): This guy must have one of the greatest arms God ever made. He threw about a million innings in the Mexican League, he looks like he trains on beans and beer with three side orders of meat, and all he does is blow his fastball by good major league hitters.<br /><br />Bartolo Colon: My favorite memory of Colon is of him going up the ladder on Mo Vaughn in the late innings of a close game. Couldn't quite catch up to that heater, Mo? Here's another--a little higher, a little harder. Siddown, Mo.<br /><br />Tug McGraw--One of the first, if not the first, great lefty closers.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04780425923108876647noreply@blogger.com
