Baseball Hall of Fame pressbox highlights and headlights: Saw - TopicsExpress



          

Baseball Hall of Fame pressbox highlights and headlights: Saw Pedro in a Cy Young year strike out 12 Braves in a great pitchers duel won by Tom Glavine. Saw John Smoltz at his best, his Cy Young year of 1996 (saw him pitch brilliantly in Game 5 of the World Series -- four hits, 10 Ks, zero earned runs over eight innings, but he got tagged with the 1-0 loss, his only loss that postseason after four victories). Saw Craig Biggio a bunch of times in Atlanta, but saw him for the first time when he was a high school kid (see this: https://fourcrickets.wordpress/tag/dock-ellis/). Never saw the Big Unit up close and in person, but feared him from afar through my TV screen. Having faced a few 90-plus mph fastballs before, I cant imagine batting against a guy whose fingertips almost touch the bat when he lets go at 99. Great class of new HOFers. Only a couple of months until Opening Day.
