Incredibly, Pud pitched over 70 complete games in both 1883 and 1884 and 65 in 1879. He is the only player in baseball history to win 20 or more games in 10 different years without winning a pennant, finishing his career with a total of 364 wins and 310 losses.
After one of his many "In my day, a pitcher would pitch 16 innings one day and then 3 days later throw another 12 innings..." meanderings, I'd like to see someone suggest to Tim McCarver that Bob Gibson was a pussy because he threw in a four-man rotation and not a 2-man rotation.

Due to the extremity of Bradmans batting achievements his name has some powerful resonances in the psyche of the non-american sports fan, but maybe in the context if this thread it's like mentioning Muhammad Ali when you're talking about martial arts.
I'll now leave you to your mysterious diamond-shaped american cricket.

75My band wrote a song called "Chatting with Dick Pole". Its instrumental. Nothing beats Uecker mentioning casually how Dick Pole is coming out to the mound. Priceless.

Ugueth U. Urbina is no longer active (on account of being in a Venezuelan prison for attempted murder), but was the first major leaguer with the initials UUU.
The White Sox have a prospect named Fautino de los Santos who might join the pitching staff in a couple of seasons. He might become a better pitcher than Baltimore's Radhames Liz.
