What a great pitcher, and the only pro sports star who could make a stadium full of drunken fat guys think "Man! He makes me look good!" I used to love watching him pitch against the Orioles (except that he often won). Ah, Mickey Lolich.

Let's make it happen tomorrow! As a White Sox fan, nothing makes me happier than seeing Bartolo and Jenks contributing to a win in the same game. 560 combined pounds of pitching prowess.

Half the time sitting around with much of the other half standing is no way to get in shape. Baseball seems to be the one team sport where playing it wouldn't really count as an exercise regimen.

He wore the uniform of the Yankees during these exhibitions (a tip off is whether it has the famous NY logo on the chest- the Yanks uniforms were plain pinstripes during Ruth's actual playing career). Quite often he hit pitches thrown by Walter Johnson, another legend who pitched War Bonds to the patriotic fans during 1942-43. Also don't forget Terry Forster and Rick and Paul Reuschel of the Cubs. They sported some famously un-ballplayer-like physiques too, during an era when uniforms were unflatteringly tight, double-knit abominations. Great post; great blog!

When I see him all stuffed into that uncomfortable looking suit and tie on teevee, all I can think of is him at the plate spitting massive streams of tobacco juice all filthy and shit.
