BTW, Catfish announced before the 1979 season began that it would be his last. His wife was pregnant and he wanted to spend more time with family. Also, although he did suffer from arm trouble that year, he lost his mentor, Clyde Klutz, one of his best friends, Thurman Munson, and his father all during that season. Whether he had anything left in the tank at that point seems irrelevant under those circumstances.
