Check out his stats from July 17 when he returns to the rotation. He was like 10-2 (not sure if I counted right). What a phenomenal threesome, not to mention the pen. He batted .350 in 1971, too. Forgot how young he was when he retired. Just like Sandy, only a little older, yes? And to die of Lou Gehrig's disease. How sad. Great post.

It's hard to fathom he actually threw 328 innings and 30 complete games in one year. Thanks for the memories.
