Nice mullet on Olbermann

YouTube - Nolan Ryan vs. Robin Ventura Fight

LMAO! I forgot Kieth used to be such a dork!

Nolan Ryan was pretty intimidating back in the day. Just ask Robin Ventura.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't think anybody named Robin could intimidate me.

Unfortunately Randy Johnson is also one of the biggest jerks in sports. Doesn't take away from his accomplishment, 300 wins is 300 wins, but this guy is very difficult to root for.

I totally agree!:up

In what year did the MLB go to 5 man rotations from 4 man rotations?

Looks like the early '70s.

Some interesting numbers here:

Thanks for that. A buddy and I (yeah, I know some people in person too.) have been trying to figure this out. That pretty much answered the question. Nice find.

One more for you - When did they start using pitch counts to determine when to pull starters?

From USC --> Montreal --> Seattle --> Houston --> Arizona --> NY --> Arizona --> S.F. Great career indeed. Congrats to the Big Unit.

It was great to see him on his return to Seattle this year and the warm embrace he got as an opposing pitcher by Mariner's fans. The tip of the hat as he left the field was a great gesture too.
