It was just yesterday Don Sutton and Joe Morgan faced each other. Wasn't it?

As a player, I only remember him as a Dodger in the mid to late 70’s. He was already on the backside of 30, but still very effective. He was a very good broadcaster for the Braves during their strong run in the 90’s. RIP.

Wasn’t he pitching in the World Series for the Brewers in 1982?

I forgot about his feud with Steve Garvey. Good times. I saw him pitch during his one season in Oakland. R.I.P.

Yeah, that’s when the Dodgers starting rotation was so good that the future Hall of Famer was only #3 in his prime (Bert Hooten was #1, Tommy John #2). After we lost John, Bob Welch took the #2 spot.

He also won the fight with Steve Garvey in the locker room.

I really enjoyed listening to him during the Braves games.

My favorite Don Sutton quote was when he was asked to compare himself to Nolan Ryan. He said “Nolan and I have a pitch in common. My fastball and his change up.”
