“With pitching it’s all about mechanics and brother he had that.”
Saw him pitch for the Reds, against Tug McGraw, at Shea—
He used every muscle in his body when he pitched, even the ones in his fingernails and hair!!!
When he was on, his right knee would be dirty from hitting the mound as he released the ball. Talk about bending at the waist (which is one of the first things a good coach teaches a kid learning to pitch).
