Another team made a mistake with a pitcher.

I'll give Duquette a pass on this one.

I don't think that it was his choice ........ I think that he was pressured into putting McLain on waivers by Angelos.

I saw Denny McLain pitch. And I met him in Cooperstown. Good pitcher, interesting cat.

Denny McLain was a good friend of mine.

Young man, you're no Denny McLain.

Since 1901, I believe that McLain and Smoky Joe wood are the only 30-game winners not in the Hall-of-Fame, right ???

Jack Coombs (1910).

Jim Bagby (1920).

I was thinking maybe Carl Mays but his top was 27.

And a pretty good instrumental album, which I own. It’s been a long time since I’ve played it, but I recall it was jazzy here and there and sometimes had a Booker T and the MGs feel.

Organs in Orbit. Wish I’d have thought of that title. I guess Grooves In Orbit by NRBQ comes close.
