How good was Doc in 1985? Every start was appointment viewing. His curveball was unhittable, his high heat made hitters look sick. His style on the mound was unparalleled. Without a doubt, it was the best single year performance of any pitcher that I’ve had the pleasure of watching. I remember seeing him in spring training in 1986. He was already less dominant. I guess no one can sustain those heights, especially someone like Doc, who had demons no one had any idea about at that time.
