Filthy

Y'all know my love of all things Mark Fidrych. His on the mound antics captivated me a child. His story is simply amazing. Take the time and read his Wikipedia article if you're too young to remember the Bird phenomenon. What I don't remember as an 8 year old boy is just how good his stuff was. Look at this clip from his rookie year, a game against the Yankess. The movement on his pitches was simply incredible. At the 1:18 mark I had to rewind the vid to see if what I saw was what I saw. Holy crap! You don't see that kind of movement on pitches from today's muscle bound pitchers.

It's always 1976...
