john/z28jdHe only threw the split finger fastball,he didnt invent the pitch.
The other thing i heard from a couple people is it was too bad Albert Belle(the player,not the persona) didnt play longer otherwise he wouldve put up hall of fame numbers but in a 10 season stretch he put up 1,200 RBI's while batting just under .300
Bruce Sutter had 8 seasons where he was better than average.So how does he make it,unless you dont use the same argument for him?
When Sutter was playing i considered him about equal to Dan Quisenberry and they were very similar,Sutter won 4 rolaids relief awards,Quiz won 5 playing in basically the same time frame,just opposite leagues.
When Quiz was up for voting he got 18 votes in 1996 and was dropped from the ballot? Heres a fun fact about Quisenberry,if you go to baseball-reference and view the top 10 most similar players all-time to him youll see at #5 and #6,John Wetteland and Bruce Sutter...isnt that odd?
