Nice find.
Yea, its amazing to think how much pitching has changed from 20-30 years ago. Pitchers are too coddled today. Its mostly because of the $$$ they make. Also, a decent/average pitcher today would have been a bad pitcher or turned into a long reliever in Gossages's day. Average ERA's are higher today than back then. |

Brett's a great hitter, but Williams hit for much more power. His slugging % and HR total are quite a bit higher than Brett. Still, that's awesome to see Brett complimented that way because I do think, historically, Brett is probably underrated.

I am so glad I got to enjoy and witness their careers. Those were some epic battles, George won most of them.
Damn I hated Gossage at the time, he could have been an Oakland Raider. |

And he was a douche back in the day, but it's easier for douchetude to be looked over when you are an active sports hero. |
