I didn't either.  You'll recall that Johnson was 36, and was disappointed that he didn't win the game for the Astros against the Mariners, since he was a train and the Astros have a train. 

That's pretty incredible.

And those follow-throughs. I think every pitcher landed his front foot and tried to slow his forward motion to be ready to field.

And he was wearing a coat and tie and a proper hat.  I miss the old days.

I love the pitching motions.  It reminds me of some footage I saw once of Warren Spahn, I think it was. Anyway, a 1950s or earlier big lefthander.

It made me really understand the old phrase "pitching from a rocking chair".

If you ever want to hear a funny story, get Coach to tell you about the time that he got drunk and heckled William Henry Harrison during his two hour plus inauguration speech back in 1841.

Does one ever get too old for the idea of being with a beautiful woman?

Just asking the question, since I have you here.
