Not appealing to this because his stats speak volumes but I would just like to add that I think it’s pretty amazing Sphanie served in World War II. And not just served but defended a key bridge and dealt with the Battle of the Bulge, earning a Purple Star for a significant shrapnel wound and a Bronze Star for bravery. Easy to dismiss him as an innings eater until you look at his stats and realize the guy flat out dominated. Multiple no hitters etc. And one of the coolest deliveries ever known!
