[video]http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/6479266/v3235120[/video] great footage of Mike Scott's splitter he 'discovered' after about 10 years in the league.
The day Gaylord Perry is kicked out of the hall is the day I'll say roid users deserve to be kept out.
Fitting that video cuts to Larry Dierker talking about the no hitter. If anyone knows cheating... It's Dierker.
My first baseman in college had a filed down belt buckle. I would pick to first and he would slap the ball across it before he tossed it back to me. By the 9th inning it looked like it had been hit with a weed eater.
"Did you ever cheat?" DS- "no I never got caught cheating." I always liked Sutton's color commentary. Some hate him. I have to laugh at a guy who would handwrite "go **** your self" and put it in his uniform pocket for when the umpires would search him.
My mom's first cousin was a catcher who was lucky enough to have a short stint in the show. It was like two weeks. Double lucky, he got to catch Gaylord one game. He said you thought he stuff was nasty, then you catch it and you realized it was nastier than you ever dreamed.
