So why did Alonso waste his spring training on the bench with the USA team?

So Baty, Vientos, Alvarez anyone?

That picture had to have been '83 from Gooden's first day at Shea (vs Salem) right because Seaver was gone before Gooden's MLB debut

When Gooden was 19, he pitched in the ALL-Star Game. Struck out the A.L.'s three biggest sluggers in the batting order, #'s 3,4, and 5. Vin Scully went wild!!

In his rookie year in 1984, he was 9-8 3.42 in early August after getting his clock cleaned by the Cards and Cubs on the road , then suddenly it all clicked. He went 8-1 1.07 0.724 WHIP over the last 9 games, had that career year in 1985 and started out 5-0 in '86

So over a 50 game period:

W-L: 37-5
ERA: 1.38
WHIP: 0.890
OBA 185

I will never get used to the way the young kids wear baseball caps. Saw it again last weekend at the Elite Eight. Man the beaks should be in a semi circle, not like an ironing board . I'd rather hear nails on a blackboard!

I just hope they keep Pete.
I'm glad they didn't get Yamamoto.
A lot of money.
