Thanks for the memory

Meh ,,, I liked him till 87 , then he held out for more money and became a moody at best .500 pitcher here who despised upper mngmnt, never one the big game in the playoffs and knew Dave Stewart owns his arse ,, yes he had a God given talent , career could of ended with arm troubles in 84/85 , Sox eased him back. Then he stabs them ,,, juiced ,,,I would take Pedro or Tiant over him any day in a desperate win !!

And as a Yankee fan, I'd take this guy over Clemens in a big game.

Remember Pete Franklin?

He was a legend. Didn't hold anything back.

Cleveland is a great place, gotta agree with you on that. I was southwest suburb, Berea, long ago, home of Lou "The Toe" Groza. And Graig Nettles when he played for the Tribe.

Funny character, baseball and the old players were great, maybe I' just gettin old, it's just not the same. I was blessed to grow up at a good time, my boyhood idol is my avatar, warts and all.
