They are few and far between, that's for sure. In the major leagues now, I'm thinking that maybe Justin Verlander approaches that (but doesn't have the attitude that those three had). There are lots of really good pitchers around now, but I can't think of anyone that has the combination of extremely high skill and extreme nastiness that Clemens and Pedro had all the time, and Schilling could have at times. You knew that they could - and would - throw at you at any time, just to mess you up.

A starting pitcher with an unabashed desire to win and the skill to do it. We need a Larry Bird of pitching.

Perfect baseball weather and a great game, until Fettuccine Alfredo was served in the ninth and started pitching BP. Thankfully we had a big lead, but he has me worried. > >Anyway, our old buddy Trot Nixon was on hand to be honored as part of the 100th anniversary celebration. It was good to see Trot and reminisce about the dirt dog days. I miss seeing him in RF and the style of baseball he played. Seems like we could use a bit more of that these days. -- >You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Red >Sox Citizens" group. >To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. >To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >[email protected]. >For more options, visit this group at >http://groups.google.com/group/redsoxcitizens?hl=en. > > > -- >You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Red >Sox Citizens" group. >To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. >To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >[email protected]. >For more options, visit this group at >http://groups.google.com/group/redsoxcitizens?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Red Sox Citizens" group.
