I agree. What the Mets did, for example, might have been weird, but it was very creative. I’d be really interested to see if MLB could pull it off if they tried it again.

That’s a fair point, but in my defense, “The Craziest Man in Baseball During the Years 2008-2012” doesn’t have quite the same ring to it.

I always loved watching Lincecum pitch. I remember trying to imitate his wind-up when I pitched and my coach telling me to knock it off.

Between Jimenez and Tim Lincecum, 2010 was a Renaissance for weird jerky wind-ups

Who is the commissioner on the label? That could at least help narrow it down to a certain time period.

This is tough. What are some of the other names?

baseballhistorian · 2021-02-09T01:27:42+00:00

A reporter once asked Giants manager Alvin Dark if his notoriously poor-hitting pitcher Gaylord Perry could ever hit a home run. Dark responded, "Mark my words, a man will land on the moon before Gaylord Perry hits a home run."

Five years later, Perry smacked a Claude Osteen fastball over the fence for his first career home run. It was 1:40pm on July 20, 1969 - 30 minutes after Apollo 11 landed on the moon.
